Wolves striker Jimenez 'doing early fitness work' as he steps up recovery from surgery on fractured skull

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is "doing some early fitness work" as he steps up his recovery from surgery on a fractured skull.

Jimenez has been out of action since being stretchered off the pitch during Wolves' 2-1 victory over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on November 29.

The 29-year-old was rushed to hospital in an air ambulance after clashing heads with David Luiz, and scans subsequently revealed a fracture which required emergency surgery.
