Raul Jimenez: Wolves striker to go home 'early next week' after surgery on fractured skull

Wolves are hopeful striker Raul Jimenez will be able to leave hospital "early next week" following his head injury at Arsenal last weekend.

The 29-year-old Mexico international sustained a fractured skull following a clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz.

He was given oxygen on the pitch before being taken to hospital for surgery.

Wolves doctor Matt Perry said on Wednesday that Jimenez "has been recovering well in hospital".

Perry added: "We are delighted with the reports from his specialist; he has made excellent progress. He should be ready to leave hospital by early next week.
