Sunderland boss Roy Keane is demanding a top class performance from Kenwyne Jones against Wigan after his jaunt to Trinidad & Tobago this week.

"Of course you worry that the travel will affect him but Kenwyne knows he's got to perform," Keane told Sunderland's website. "He was selected for his country and you have to be fair to these players ... but they have to be fair to the club as well.

"He's played the full 90 minutes [against Guaduloupe] and then he's getting on a flight. Put it this way, he needs to put in a good shift tomorrow.

"We have to help with the travel arrangements. If we left it to them [the T&T FA], I think he'd be on a ferry. Him and Stern [John] are paddling at the moment. We make sure Kenwyne is upgraded and that he's got a bed to sleep on."

Jones, Sunderland's top scorer, played for 90 minutes in a 0-0 friendly draw in Port of Spain.

Keane added: "It was only a friendly and I know he's got another in March - in the middle of a busy period for us. He might miss that one!

"They [the players] argue that we shouldn't treat Trinidad & Tobago any different to the lads going to play for England or Ireland and that's fair enough. When we sign them, we are aware of that. The discussion with Kenwyne was amicable."

Keane added: "I'm hoping this week will have refreshed him, he'll have got a bit of sun on his back. Yorkie used to go back [to the Caribbean] and come back like a new man.

"Kenwyne's not back until this afternoon, it's not ideal. We'll consider getting a private jet sorted out for some of these lads, so they come back straight after the game. Maybe lads from different clubs could come back on the same flight."
