# Wolves: Liam Keen delivers fresh Raul Jimenez injury update

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) striker Raul Jimenez will return to England this week to continue his recovery from a groin injury, reliable journalist Liam Keen has confirmed.**

### The Lowdown: Jimenez recovering from injury

The 31-year-old has been missing for Wanderers since getting injured earlier in the season, with his [most recent appearance](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108186/Show/Ra%C3%BAl-Jim%C3%A9nez) coming against Bournemouth on August 31st.

Jimenez has been back in his homeland of Mexico recovering in recent times, with his absence a lengthy one that hasn’t helped Wolves’ current plight at all.

Now, it looks as though the Mexican is slowly edging towards his return, following a new update.

### The Latest: Strike set to fly back

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LiamKeen_Star/status/1585020881876688905?s=20), [*The Express & Star*](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2022/10/25/wolves-striker-raul-jimenez-flying-back-to-england-this-week-to-continue-injury-rehab/)‘s Keen confirmed that Jimenez would be returning to England on Friday:

> “Raul Jimenez is flying back into England on Friday after 3 weeks in Mexico to continue his rehab from a groin injury at Compton.”

### The Verdict: Small step at a time

While this isn’t necessarily too major an update, in terms of Jimenez suddenly being fit again, returning to Wolves could be a sign that he is done with one stage of his recovery.

It certainly feels unlikely that the striker, who has been [hailed](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8457571/Nuno-Espirito-Santo-heaps-praise-special-Raul-Jimenez-Bournemouth-winner.html) as ‘special’ by Nuno Espirito Santo, will be fit before the World Cup, however, with anything else a bonus.

The hope is that Jimenez will be able to feature in the tournament, though, in what is surely likely to be his swansong for Mexico, having [scored 29 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raul-jimenez/profil/spieler/206040) in 96 caps.
