(Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Bruno Lage thanked the Mexican Football Federation on Friday for arriving at a compromise that allowed striker Raul Jimenez to be available for Saturday's Premier League match against Watford.

Wolves said the Mexican FA enquired about Jimenez being banned from playing under FIFA regulations after the 30-year-old did not travel for international duty last week as he would have had to quarantine for 10 days in a hotel on his return to England.

"It's a good decision by everyone, especially by Mexico," Lage said."I didn't talk to them personally but I know the club talked and we arrived at a good solution. Premier League clubs are set to face sanctions from FIFA if they play South American players, who were not released for international duty, in this weekend's games.
