Wolves boss ‘confident’ Raul Jimenez will return this season
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is “totally confident” Mexico striker Raul Jimenez will be back from his fractured skull before the end of this season. Jimenez has been out of action since he suffered the horrific injury in a clash of heads with Arsenal’s David Luiz during Wolves’ Premier League win at the Emirates Stadium in November. The 29-year-old has now returned to light training and Nuno expects his star forward to feature before the season ends on May 23. “Totally confident, for sure,” Nuno said on Friday when asked about a likely return for the player this season. Jimenez scored 27 goals in all competitions for Wolves last season and has netted seven times in 15 appearances for club and country during the current campaign. Following Jimenez’s injury, Wolves won only one of thei...

‘Absolutely stunning’ – Gary Lineker in awe of Raul Jimenez’s goal for Wolves today
Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw against Burnley in the Premier League. The Molineux outfit conceded a late penalty and the draw more or less ends their chances of finishing in the top four this season. Raul Jimenez had given Nuno’s team the lead on the 76th minute but Burnley fought back with their stoppage-time penalty. Chris Wood converted from the spot on the 96th minute for Sean Dyche’s side. Wolves will be disappointed to have dropped two points here especially after the exceptional goal scored by Raul Jimenez. The Mexican’s goal impressed Gary Lineker, who took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the strike. He wrote: Always thought this game would spring to life. Absolutely stunning goal from @Raul_Jimenez9. A @BBCOne kind of goal. 👏🏻👏🏻 — Gary Lineker ...
‘He’s going to leave’ – Manager expects Wolves star to leave for a bigger club
Portuguese manager Pedro Caixinha thinks Raul Jimenez will leave Wolves in order to join a bigger club in future. He said to TUDN (via Sportwitness): “He’s going to leave Wolves to go one step higher and he’s going to continue with that ambition. It’s what I’d like to see in other Mexican players who have a lot of quality.” The Mexican has been outstanding for Wolves since moving to the Premier League and he has been linked with a move away this summer. It will be interesting to see if his suitors can tempt him away from Molineux. Earlier this month, Jimenez revealed that it would hard to turn down approaches from Real Madrid or Barcelona. Wolves will be desperate to keep their star striker at the club this season but things could change if a top club comes calling. Jimenez has shown that ...
