Wolves say striker Raúl Jiménez is “comfortable” after undergoing surgery for a skull fracture suffered in his win over Arsenal on Sunday.
Jiménez was brought down on a stretcher after a head butt with Arsenal defender David Luiz and given oxygen after the accidental collision.
The head clash occurred early in the game and resulted in a prolonged delay of about 10 minutes while paramedics and medical personnel treated both players.

On Sunday night, the Mexican was transferred to a London hospital, where he was conscious and responding to treatment.
In a statement Monday, Wolves said: “Raúl is comfortable after an operation last night, which he underwent in a London hospital.
Luiz received treatment for a head injury but kept playing
“Since then he has seen his partner Daniela and is now resting. He will remain under observation for a few days while his recovery begins.
“The club would like to thank Arsenal medical staff, NHS paramedics, hospital staff and surgeons who, thanks to their skill and prompt response, were very helpful.
“The club asks that Raúl and his family now have a period of space and privacy, before further updates are provided in due course.”
