Wolves star Raul Jimenez is preparing to return to action in a friendly against Crewe Alexandra.

The 30-year-old has not played since he damaged his skull in a horrible collision with Arsenal defender David Luiz.

He subsequently had surgery on his skull and had to go through many months of recuperation.

The Express & Star says Jimenez will wear protective headgear for the rest of his playing days.

He will be in the squad for their first preseason friendly against Crew on Saturday, which is also new boss Bruno Lage's first game.
