Cardiff City striker Kenwyne Jones is set to miss the Bluebirds’ next two matches after flying home to Trinidad following a family tragedy.

The news follows Jones’ personal tribute after he scored Cardiff’s third goal in the 3-1 win over Leeds United on Saturday.

The 30-year-old removed his shirt to reveal a message that read: “RIP Deshon and Chibbi”.

A Cardiff City statement read: “We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Kenwyne Jones following a family tragedy.

“We ask that Kenwyne and his family are given space and privacy at this difficult time.”

Jones is not expected to link back up with the Bluebirds until after the international break later this month and is extremely unlikely to be available for Tuesday’s trip to Bolton and Saturday’s visit to Birmingham.

The Bluebirds striker has found himself out of the starting XI since Russell Slade's appointment despite scoring six goals so far this season.

Sincere condolences for KJ and his family.

fair play to him for still playing today, my condolences.

Fair play kj thoughts with you and your family

Lots of respect for playing today.

Thoughts are with the big man. Condolences kj.

Condolences. My thoughts are with you and those concerned

Kenwyne looked very emotional after he scored. Thoughts and prayers are with him, and his family.

Fair play to him he only fifteen minutes and put in some good work

ive been wondering what his t shirt said. I
thought it said 'Hughesey sign me up'

lol.

No its refreshing to see him come out for us
in his first experience in this league and show passion and emotion

Condolences, Kenwyne

2-0 up, then 2-1, and the game is looking a bit more tricky. Kenwyne clinched the win for us. His hard workk, pressurising the keeper and defender into a mistake, got his goal. Once the two goal margin was restored, we were comfortable.

We'll miss Kenwyne for these couple of games, but his family comes first.

Totally agree with both comments I tip my hat the the big K.

Thoughts go out to all those close to you Kenwyne.

We'll miss you but you've got to do what you've got to do. RIP

An absolute disgrace the referee booked him for that! Condolences to Kenwyne and his family.

Condolences kenwyn and huge redpect for turning out yesterday

Thoughts are with you KJ.

Must of took lot of courage and strength for him to still be involved today even though he wanted to be on the first plane back home.

The goal was fitting for him, nice celebration. With Tonteg on the booking, the rule is there and nothing you can do. Should be overturned.

Cardiff City could be without striker Kenwyne Jones for Tuesday's Championship match against Bolton Wanderers after he flew home to Trinidad and Tobago following a "family tragedy".

Jones took off his shirt after scoring Cardiff's third in the 3-1 win over Leeds United yesterday to reveal a message that said "RIP Deshon + Chibbi".

Last night he tweeted: "Thanks everyone much love."

Cardiff said in a statement on their website: "Following a family tragedy, we ask that Kenwyne and his family are given space and privacy at this difficult time."

Jones, 30, has scored six goals in 13 Championship appearances for the Bluebirds this season.

Thoughts are with you KJ.

I understand that Dando, but Billy Sharp was allowed to take his shirt off to reveal a "RIP son" message when his new born son passed away. Common sense prevailed there, getting punished with a booking for something like that is absolutely pathetic imo.

Condolences to you Kenwyne. You and your family will be in my prayers.

It is, I hope the rule gets overturned one day.

POLICE in Trinidad have arrested a man in connection with the killing of two of former Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones’ cousins.

Officers on the Caribbean island confirmed that a man is in custody over the shooting of Deshon Sobers, aged 21, and her 24-year-old brother Trevon Sobers.

The footballer, who now plays for Cardiff City, returned to Trinidad after Saturday's game against Leeds where he unveiled a T-shirt tribute, that read ‘RIP Deshon and Chibbi’ after he scored his team's third goal.

Local media reported that the cousins were shot in a house in Chaguanas two weeks earlier. Two other relatives, a brother of the cousins, and an uncle were also injured.
