Wolves face losing Raul for Watford clash

Wolves are waiting to hear whether Raul Jimenez will be available to play against Watford on Saturday.

The club faces sanctions for stopping the forward from going on international duty with Mexico, who are on the UK's travel red list.

If Jimenez had travelled, he would miss both the Watford and Brentford fixtures due to isolation rules and as a result, Wolves stopped him from leaving. However, Mexico requested Fifa to impose sanctions on Wolves which could mean Jimenez is banned for the Watford game – while they may also face fines, reports the Express & Star.

Wolves are still waiting to hear on the outcome as the Premier League and Fifa try to come to an agreement.
