Wolves striker Raul Jimenez happy being involved with Mexico this week

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has been happy being involved with Mexico this week.

The 29-year-old, who has made fine progress on the head injury he suffered last November, has been training with his country ahead of tonight's game against Wales in Cardiff.

Seen as a chance to meet up with friends and carry on topping up his fitness, it is understood to have been a productive training camp for Jimenez, reports the Express & Star.

There remains a high level of caution – having linked up with Mexico purely for training purpose and not to play any part against Wales – but it is another encouraging step in his quest to play for Wolves again this season.

Jimenez has been taking part in sessions wearing a tailor-made headband, which he could go on to use for matches, and is still not believed to be heading balls again yet.

But the mood is positive, with Jimenez tweeting a picture of himself training with Mexico during the week along with the caption: “Always dream and aim higher than you know you can achieve."
