After undergoing a scan, it appeared that Jiménez had a fractured skull. The Mexican forward underwent immediate surgery and is currently on rest.

“Raúl feels good, after the operation he underwent last night in a London hospital,” the official statement from Wolverhampton opened.

“He has met his partner, Daniela, and is currently resting. He is still under surveillance for the next few days as he begins his recovery period.”

“The club would like to thank the Arsenal medical staff, the NHS paramedic team, the hospital staff and the surgeons who were very attentive in providing assistance. The club also requests that Raúl and his family be given privacy at this time Until further notice, “the statement concluded.

What happened to Jiménez reminded the public of what had happened to Ryan Mason. The former Hull City midfielder suffered a violent blow to the head during an aerial duel with Gary Cahill (then Chelsea) in the 2016/17 season.

Mason managed to get quick treatment at the time and also underwent surgery, then went into rehab. Even so, he eventually decided to retire from football and now works as a youth coach at Tottenham Hotspur.
