Wolves: Raul Jimenez returns to training with team-mates months after suffering skull fracture

Raul Jimenez has been allowed to train with his team-mates again as he attempts to return to action for Wolves before the end of the campaign.

The Mexican, who suffered a fractured skull in the match at Arsenal last November, is not yet able to take part in physical contact sessions but has been cleared to do certain exercises with the ball as he continues his recovery.

Jimenez had a series of tests last week to track his progress and he will need more before he is cleared to participate fully in sessions, with Wolves remaining hopeful that he can play again in 2020-21.

The 29-year-old can join in with 'boxes' - where four players stand in a square while passing to each other and another player in the middle tries to intercept - and other possession drills, but cannot yet be involved in small-sided matches.

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo said: 'He's feeling well and good, and we decided that was the best step, together with the doctor, to integrate him into parts of the training session because working by yourself for many hours can become hard to handle, but we still have to wait.

'It's all about how he reacts to situations now, things that he didn't do before and how he reacts to different exercises.

'He will give us the right answers and the right timing to make any further decisions.'
