Jones gunning for revenge over England after declaring himself fit for Trinidad & Tobago friendly

30 May 2008
Trinidad and Tobago striker Kenwyne Jones says he is fit and ready to give England a fright in Sunday's friendly in Port of Spain.
The Sunderland forward chipped a bone in his wrist during the final game of the Barclays Premier League season earlier this month but has now recovered and is
included in Francisco Maturana's final 18-man squad.
Jones is also hoping to gain revenge after two late goals denied Trinidad and Tobago a point in the teams' only previous meeting in the group stages of the 2006 World Cup.
Raring to go: Kenwyne Jones has recovered from injury and is in Trinidad & Tobago's squad on Sunday.
"We are going to see a very good game and I know all of Trinidad wants us to beat England this time around because we were seven minutes away from getting a point when we met them in Nuremberg in 2006," said Jones.
"I'm feeling good at the moment and we've come through a good week of preparation for the match. England are coming off a win against the States but I think on Sunday it's going to be a different ball game.
"Both teams I think will give a good showing and it should be a treat for the fans."
Along with Jones, fellow English-based players Stern John, Carlos Edwards, Dennis Lawrence and Clayton Ince have also been included in the trimmed-down squad.
Maturana said: "It's a squad that we have assessed and looked very carefully at in our preparation to play against England and we will work towards making it happen good on Sunday.
"I know England are confident because they defeated America on Wednesday but we will not let that affect us. We will play at home and we will hopefully play with the heart and the determination to do well."
