Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez says it never crossed his mind his career was over despite fracturing his skull in a horrific clash of heads with Arsenal’s David Luiz nine months ago.The 30-year-old Mexican international completed a remarkable recovery in playing the whole of Wolves’s 1-0 defeat by Leicester in their opening Premier League match last Saturday.“I always thought that after my recovery I would be back to do what I love to do,” said Jimenez.
Jimenez, who had emergency surgery on his fractured skull, said doctors told him it was a “miracle to be here”.“That’s why the surgery had to be quick and it was a really good job from the doctors.”“If it was up to me I wouldn’t use it,” he said.“In this moment it could be more dangerous for me than any other player.Jimenez has no recollection of the incident but has watched it several times and even from different angles so he can grasp what happened.
He says the most depressing moment for him was having his hopes dashed of playing again towards the end of last season.“It was just a shock in the moment, but 10 minutes later I said ‘OK, I need to continue recovery, keep doing what I’m doing to be ready for next season’.Jimenez will face former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo’s Tottenham Hotspur next in what he says will be an emotional occasion.“I saw him three weeks ago. He told me he was really happy to see me play again.
