Lobos forward Raúl Jiménez said he hopes to “return to the court soon” in his first statement since fracturing his skull Sunday.
Jiménez received oxygen on the Emirates Stadium court before being transferred to hospital.
“Thank you for your messages of support” Jiménez, 29, tweeted.
“I will be under observation and I hope to return to the field soon.”
Jiménez had surgery after Sunday’s game, after which a Wolves statement said he was “comfortable.”
The club said it had “seen his partner Daniela” and would “remain under observation for a few days.”
The game was paused for about 10 minutes to allow Jiménez to receive treatment before being carried off the field on a stretcher.
Luiz continued to play with the blood leaking from the bandage on his head after the incident, prompting concussion substitutes being introduced into soccer.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it “makes sense” to bring them in while Alan Shearer thinks “football needs to wake up” around concussion protocols.
Arsenal said protocols were followed regarding the decision to allow Luiz to continue playing after the incident.
