The 21-year-old was expected to line up against Hull City on Thursday, but Moyes revealed before the game he has a knee injury.
Jones is on 13 Premier League appearances this season while he also found the net against Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this month, the same game which saw Van Persie pick up his injury.
