Jiménez scored a third of Wolves’ goals in the league last season. How will Nuno Espírito Santo deal with his absence?

Wolves deserve plenty of credit for the way they composed themselves at Arsenal on Sunday. Fifteen minutes into the game at the Emirates, their striker Raúl Jiménez was stretchered off and taken to hospital following a clash of heads with David Luiz. It emerged later that Jiménez had suffered a fractured skull. He quickly underwent surgery, which, thankfully, was successful.
The incident overshadowed the game, but play resumed after 10 minutes and the Wolves players recovered well to win 2-1 thanks to from Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence. Coming off a 1-0 defeat at Leicester and a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton, it was important for Wolves to pick up three points and keep their push for a top-four finish on track.
