Wolves boss Lage delighted for Jimenez: A good example

Wolves boss Bruno Lage is delighted for Raul Jimenez.

The striker scored his first goal since suffering a fractured skull in November in Wolves' 1-0 win at Southampton last weekend.

It was his first goal in 336 days having recovered from the life-threatening injury following a clash of heads with David Luiz at Arsenal.

Wolves now welcome Newcastle to Molineux in the Premier League on Saturday and Lage believes Jimenez has the perfect outlook.

He said: “The way he is as a man, he is doing everything calmly. He is a good example, you can be a top player and also a top man. He is comfortable because, after what happened, he is living day-by-day, enjoying the moment and the goals will come.

“He knows now he needs to score more goals for us and we are here to support him, the fans are there to support. It builds more confidence.

“He is enjoying the moment and I think it is the best way to live our lives like that, in the moment, and not to think what will happen in the future."
