Raul Jimenez speaks about his horror head injury and recalls last thing he remembered

'They told me it was like a miracle to be here.' Raul Jimenez is recounting his doctors' reaction to the moment that left him in mortal danger - the head injury during Wolves' game at Arsenal on November 29 last year that could have cost him not just his career but his life.

Nobody who saw the incident will ever forget it. Defending a corner less than five minutes into the game, Jimenez clashed heads with David Luiz and was soon motionless on the turf. He was taken away in an ambulance and spent more than a week in hospital, where he had surgery on a fractured skull.
