Wolves boss Nuno insists Raul Jimenez will play again this season.

The Mexican forward, 29, has been out of action since a horror head clash with David Luiz in November - with initial fears questioning whether he would ever play top flight football again.

Nuno said he was 'totally confident' he would be able to field his No9 again before the end of the campaign.

In response to being asked if Jimenez would feature this term, Nuno replied: "Totally confident, totally confident.

"For sure, the speed is the speed we need to follow. We need to be aware of the circumstances. Avoid any kind of contact.

"He has been able to participate in the initial part of the training sessions.

"Just being with his team-mates is a big help for him and for us.

"We are following the right protocols with no rush.

"Delighted he is getting better and better day by day. So it is fantastic for us."
