Jones is just one of a host of Manchester United players sideiined for the derby against Manchester City at the Etihad on Thursday (8pm) after being seen leaving Carrington before his team-mates arrived for training.
Jose Mourinho had asked Jones and centre-back partner Chris Smalling to play through the pain in order to take pressure off his overstretched squad, but the 25-year-old is not available for tomorrow's clash.
Paul Pogba has also been ruled out by manager Mourinho while Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not feature any more this season, with Daley Blind and Marcus Rashford likely to step in as replacements.
