Wolves striker Raul Jimenez will not play for Mexico this summer as he steps up his recovery from a fractured skull. Jimenez, who suffered the sickening injury during a match at Arsenal in November, has recently been given the green light to return to full training.
Wolves confirmed: “Raul Jimenez will spend his pre-season recovering at Wolves and will not take part in Mexico’s summer tournaments. Wishing you luck, @miseleccionmxEN!”
Wolves club doctor Matt Perry recently provided an update on the 30-year-old’s progress.
Matt Perry said: “Raul has been able to progress from basic fitness work into full competitive training from early March; only holding back on powered heading and aerial duels. He has now received the all clear to start these activities and is physically as fit, strong and agile as ever. Further match-based rehabilitation will start in July and will be tightly controlled initially. This respects the fact that although his recovery appears to be total there is a big step from training to competition. We hope and expect that Raul will be able to play a full part in Wolves’ 2021/22 season.”
