Wolves striker Raul Jimenez struggled to walk and eat after David Luiz clash of heads

Raul Jimenez has spoken out for the first time on his horrifying clash of heads with Arsenal‘s David Luiz in November, which left team-mates and opponents fearing for his life.

The Wolves striker collided with Luiz with sickening force while challenging for an aerial ball. His skull was fractured and emergency surgery was needed in order to stop the internal bleeding. 

Now, three months down the line, Jimenez is remarkably already back in training but admits he simply cannot remember the incident at the Emirates Stadium.

Speaking during an interview with EstiloDF, he said: ‘It was very complicated and I don’t remember what exactly happened. It is all a blur. 

‘All I remember is waking up in the hospital after the surgery was done. Then it was very complicated to go back home and not be able to do anything. 

Players of both teams were immediately concerned for the wellbeing of Jimenez and Luiz

‘Every little move I made had to be very slow, but my girlfriend has helped me so much throughout my recovery.’ Jimenez added.

Wolves have struggled in the absence of their main striker, and currently sit in 12th place in the Premier League with 30 points.

Jimenez has now returned to feature alongside his team-mates in training, and hopes to be back in first team action before the season concludes.

When asked this week for an update on Jimenez, manager Nuno Espirito Santo said: ‘He is training, he has been able to integrate into some of the training sessions and he is improving and doing well.

‘We have to be very careful and follow the protocols but keep positive because he is doing well. We are delighted, but know it’ll take time. He is going in the right direction.

‘He will keep improving his fitness, follow the protocols and do consultations with the neurosurgeon. It requires patience but it’s moving in the right direction.’
