July 8, 2021 Raul Jimenez Returns To Full Training

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has completed his first full training sessions since suffering a fractured skull last November.

Jimenez, who will wear a specially-designed headguard for heading, full-contact training and matches, has been a full participant since Wolves returned for pre-season training on Monday.

The Mexico international was cleared to train fully back in May but had to wait until this week to be reunited with team-mates and meet new head coach Bruno Lage.

Jimenez is expected to be in contention for Wolves' pre-season campaign, which begins against Crewe Alexandra on July 17.

The 30-year-old received on-field treatment for 10 minutes and was carried off on a stretcher after an accidental clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz last year.

He was given oxygen on the pitch before being taken to St Mary's Hospital Paddington, where he had emergency surgery for a major traumatic brain injury (TBI) and skull fracture.

Jimenez underwent tests in May, which revealed his skull fracture had healed well. He will need to wear a protective headguard for the remainder of his career.
