Wolves boss Nuno: Still boxes to tick before Raul playing return

Wolves boss Nuno says there's still several "boxes to tick" before Raul Jimenez makes a playing return.

The Mexico international is fully fit and recovered from a fractured skull injury.

But ahead of tomorrow's trip to Everton, Nuno insists: "We have a lot of boxes to tick.

"There are a lot of things we have to look at after today and decide.

"He needs an MRI, a scan, psychological tests and heading the ball. There are still a lot of things we need to consider before we decide what to do.

"But it makes me very happy just to reach this point.

"After all that we have been through and especially Raul with his family, to see him so much closer to playing again, it is really good news after what happened and what it meant for everybody."
