Could play in season finale
Jones (ankle) won't be an option for Saturday's game at RB Leipzig but could play against Wolfsburg on May 16 in the final game of the season, according to manager Alexander Blessin. "He's ahead of schedule and was already back in team training this week. We're all delighted about that because he's a real live wire. He could be an option for Wolfsburg."
Analysis: Jones recovered quicker than expected from his injury, and it seems the lack of fitness will be the main issue why he won't be able to suit up this weekend. Jones will be an option for the final match of the campaign against Wolfsburg at home. He hasn't played since Jan. 31 and has been limited to just eight appearances all season long, though he does have two goals on 11 shots and six chances created in that span.
Returns to full training
Jones (ankle) returned to full training capacity for the first time Wednesday since suffering a syndesmosis tear more than three months ago and could be in contention for Saturday's clash against Leipzig, according to Hamburger Abendblatt.
Analysis: Jones had been working his way back through individual running and rehabilitation drills after the serious ankle injury that ruled him out for the majority of the season, making his return to full collective sessions a significant milestone. Whether he makes the matchday squad against Leipzig will be determined over the coming days, but his return to full training is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to contribute in the final fixtures of St. Pauli's Bundesliga campaign.
