The defender was left out of the squad for the 1-0 victory against Tottenham and will miss the Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Newcastle as well as the Champions League qualifying legs with Club Brugge.
The 23-year-old’s thrombosis – when clots form in a blood vessel – will be bad news for United manager Louis van Gaal, who will want a more settled defence this season.
Jones had started all four pre-season friendlies alongside Daley Blind but his place against Spurs was taken by Chris Smalling.
