Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has swapped his protective headgear to assist his game.

Jimenez wears the protection after suffering a fractured skull in a match with Arsenal in November 2020, which briefly placed his life in danger.

His return to top-level football has been remarkable. Yet he has scored only six times this season, compared with 27 in the 2019-20 campaign.

"Sometimes, the trajectory of the ball meant there was a difference for Raul with the old headgear," said Wolves boss Bruno Lage. "This is lighter and protects only the place that needs to be protected.

"I feel it is better in training and now I hope it will be better in games. It gives him more confidence when he is running.

"He is the same person, the same player. Everyone here is doing everything they can to help Raul. The doctors are doing their best to help him be the Raul we know."
