Raul Jimenez: Wolves striker is excited to return to action after horrific injury

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez is keen to return to action at the club’s home ground Molineux.

The 30-year-old fractured his skull in a sickening collision during Wolves’ win against Arsenal last November.

Jiménez received on-field treatment for ten minutes and was carried off on a stretcher after an accidental clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz.

The Mexican international, who returned to full training in March, was given oxygen on the pitch before being taken to St Mary’s hospital in Paddington.

He underwent emergency surgery for a major traumatic brain injury (TBI) and skull fracture.
