Raúl Jiménez continues to reconnect with himself after suffering a terrible fracture of skull that practically leads him to retire from football. The Mexican has been rehabilitated and will be ready to face the season 2021 / 2022. After a series of friendlies he smiled again: scored a goal after eight months .
Wolverhampton played a preseason game behind closed doors against Al Shabab of Saudi Arabia, in Marbella, Spain. The English won by a score of 2-1, and “El Bombero” was a key piece to achieve the victory.
