Manchester United Treble winner Wes Brown is delighted seeing Phil Jones fully fit.
The defender is back after 18 months battling a knee injury and has seen action at U23 level.
“It's a fine line," Brown told MUTV. “When you get injured, you want to come back and sometimes you come back a little bit early, because you want to get back on that pitch.
“If you are out for a long period of time, it is difficult and when you feel like you are ready, and maybe you are not, you push yourself harder just to get back and then you have another setback, it can be very hard and mentally as well.
"We all know how Phil Jones can play and we all know what he can do. Hopefully he has had enough time now and he is fit, if needed for selection. It's a tough time and it is mentally difficult, so you have to give him all of the respect."
