Jones ruled out with knee injury.

24-year-old Jones who signed from Exeter City in the summer looks set for an exploratory operation on his knee after he picked up the injury in the Boxing day draw at Huddersfield Town.
The operation will determine the full extent of the injury to the left backs knee and with the injury to Jones it will give a chance for Ryan Lynch to impress.

Steve Holland told www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk "We think Billy has pinched his cartilage at the back of his knee. Whether that will need a further examination is too early to say," said the Alex first-team coach.

"If the swelling goes down next week, we will need to be looking at that again.

"But it is obviously a blow as we had just got him back into the team, and the back four looked fine at Huddersfield."
