Wolves boss Nuno says there'll be no rushing the return to action for Raul Jimenez.

The striker is looking good on the training pitch after recovering from a fractured skull suffered earlier this season.

Nuno said, “Nothing has really changed. He keeps on working very hard, everybody sees that he's improving, he's almost ready to go, but now we expect the next exam and the next decision of the surgeon, our medical department, Raul and myself. We have to sit down and create a new plan, because everything looked like he was joining us soon, but we still have to wait and be patient.

“He's on course, now we see he's so good, but we still have the main issue, the bone, we need to respect that and that's why we don't allow him to head the ball, he still trains with his protection. We're being careful because it's about the bone, it's not about his fitness.

“Hopefully he'll be better because he keeps improving, and hopefully we'll have clearance and he'll join us. We are all positive and this is what we want the most, so it's our desire to see things happen that keep us being hopeful that he's going to be here."
