After a horrific PL head collision, the true extent of Raul Jimenez’s injuries were shockingly exposed.
According to his club, Wolves striker Raul Jimenez suffered a fractured skull after colliding heads with David Luiz of Arsenal during Sunday’s game.
Prior to being brought to the hospital, the 29-year-old Mexican international underwent 10 minutes of on-field medical attention.
He would continue to be under surveillance for a few days, according to Wolves, who defeated Arsenal 2-1 to earn their first victory at the club in 40 years.
The club released a statement that stated, “Raul is comfortable following a procedure last night, which he underwent in a London hospital.

He is currently relaxing after seeing his partner Daniela. For a few days, he will be under monitoring while he starts to heal.The club would like to express its gratitude to the doctors at Arsenal, the paramedics from the NHS, the hospital personnel, and the surgeons who, thanks to their expertise and prompt action, were so helpful.
The club requests that Raul and his family be given some time and privacy before providing any more details as soon as possible. Up until halftime, Luiz remained on the field with blood pouring into a white bandage covering his head.
The Brazilian was only removed because he was worried about the cut, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who justified the decision to keep him on the pitch.
However, there have been growing suggestions for using temporary replacements, like they do in rugby union, while the player is getting a full physical.
According to Luke Griggs, chief executive of the brain injury charity Headway, “too frequently in football we see players returning to the pitch having undergone a concussion assessment only to be withdrawn a few minutes later when it is clear that they are not fit to continue.”
“Exactly for this reason, football desperately needs temporary concussion replacements.
With head traumas, you “simply cannot take a chance.”
The English Football Association intends to deploy concussion substitutes in this season’s FA Cup after opening the door for their trial use by football’s lawmakers, IFAB.
