The 20-year-old was forced to miss the Red Devils' 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday before being withdrawn from the England Under-21 squad for Wednesday's clash with Sweden.
He will also sit out of the Red Devils' Champions League last-16 first-leg encounter with Real Madrid next week.
England Under-21 coach Pearce revealed: "Jones picked up shingles and there's not a lot we can do about it.
"It's a shame because it makes us stronger when Phil's here, that's for sure. But it gives someone else a chance."
