The striker found a “bloody pig’s head” wrapped in his clothes, which believed Wheelan has placed, as tweeted by Jones’ girlfriend Friday afternoon.

The club is launching an investigation into what happened at the training ground, Kissa Abdullah wrote a series of tweets criticizing the act stating that, “it was not even close to funny.” Jones is a Rastafarian and does not eat pork.

After the incident, the Stoke midfielder Brek Shea tweeted a photo of the pig’s head and wrote, “Locker room banter gone wild,” with the image accessible on Instagram. The club confirmed that they are investigating into the motive of why the joke was made.

Stoke City released a statement saying, "The club takes seriously reports of an incident at our training ground this afternoon. A full internal investigation will be carried out and those responsible for any unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in accordance with the club's disciplinary procedures."

She then wrote, "me as well I really don't get it at least do a fake one not straight from the butchers! Anyone would be pissed! … they put a huge bloody pigs head in his clothes at training! He warned them 2 keep him out of the banter or else! u kno the rest."

About Jones’ and his girlfriend’s beliefs, Abdullah tweeted, "Listen 4 all those who don't get it lay the f! back! Where I come from that's not anywhere close 2 funny! Esp not knowing religious beliefs."

Despite her frustration, she said that Jones’ smashing up Wheelan’s car was not the best way to react to the situation, "you know wat agreed but everyone reacts differently !"

Last Sunday, before Stoke played Tottenham Hotspur in their last home match, Michael Owen, who is retiring after the last game of the season had his car covered with flour and eggs.
