England Weathers Storm With 10 Men To Beat Mexico, Advance To World Cup Quarterfinals

Takes two shots Thursday Jimenez had two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 1-0 win against South Korea.

Impact Jimenez found few opportunities up front and was unable to capitalize on a close-range shot in front of the keeper which could have doubled the lead against South Korea. It was a disappointing outcome for the veteran, who had previously scored once from four shots versus South Africa. He should remain his side's primary offensive threat in the decisive fixtures, with the downside to his value coming from a possible playing time reduction in the final group-stage matchup against Czechia, where Mexico won't have anything at stake given that they can no longer lose the group lead.

Scores against South Africa Jimenez scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-0 victory versus South Africa.

Impact Jimenez found the back of the net through a close-range header in the 67th minute of Thursday's clash, marking his first goal in World Cup action. The striker could have easily increased his scoring tally but was denied on a few opportunities, including a direct free kick. He notched his 46th international goal, tying Jared Borgetti as the second all-time leading scorer for the Mexican national team. Following the announcement of his return to Wolverhampton from Fulham, the experienced attacker will continue to lead Mexico's front line for the remainder of the international tournament, featuring as a reliable finisher and one of the top penalty takers in the competition. He'll look to carry the momentum to a tougher challenge against South Korea.

Another shock signing for Wolves! Mexico international Raul Jimenez retraces steps as a free agent & joins Kieran Trippier at Molineux

Set for Wolverhampton return Jimenez will rejoin his former club Wolverhampton in the English second division after his participation in the 2026 World Cup, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Jimenez has signed a two-year deal with the club for which he previously stood out with 57 goals over 166 appearances in all competitions between 2018 and 2023. This move allows the striker to stay in Europe as he nears the final stages of his career, though not in the highest level of competition. During the 2025/26 campaign, he scored nine goals while adding three assists over 39 games (27 starts), considering EPL and FA Cup action, for Fulham. He's expected to lead Mexico's front line at his fourth World Cup, looking to further improve his position as the country's third-best all-time scorer with 45 goals on his previous 125 appearances.

4 Takeaways From Mexico's World Cup Roster Selection

Set to lead Mexico's front line Jimenez will look to serve as Mexico's first-choice center-forward in the upcoming World Cup, potentially retaining major responsibilities throughout the tournament.

Impact Jimenez was active for Fulham throughout the past Premier League season, recording nine goals and three assists across 36 appearances (27 starts). Given his extensive experience at the highest level, Mexico will once again place much of its scoring hopes on the 35-year-old striker, who ranks third on the national team's all-time scoring list with 45 goals in 125 appearances. In addition to his finishing ability, Jimenez provides value as a facilitator in the final third and should remain the favorite for penalty kick duties due to his remarkable efficiency from the spot.

Finds bench role Jimenez (illness) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Wolves.

Impact Jimenez shook off the illness that had kept him out entirely last weekend, earning a spot in the squad after manager Marco Silva opted not to flag any concerns over his fitness in Friday's press conference. The forward has failed to score in his last five starts for Fulham, and the club opted to hand the starting role to Rodrigo Muniz, with neither striker expected to go the full 90 minutes given the stage of the season. Jimenez's availability from the bench gives coach Silva a useful option to rotate his attacking options as the campaign draws to a close.

Expected to be available Jimenez (illness) is expected to be available Sunday against Wolves after not being mentioned by Marco Silva in Friday's press conference.

Impact Jimenez was completely held out last week due to an illness, but it seems like he should be available again in Gameweek 37, though that hasn't been confirmed. He could be back in the XI if ready to go, though whether it's Rodrigo Muniz or him, the starter will likely only be set for 60 or 70 minutes. Jimenez has failed to score in his last five starts for Fulham.

Battling illness Jimenez has battled illness this week and missed parts of training, according to manager Marco Silva. "Raul didn't train for the full week because of the same thing."

Impact Jimenez has started the last two matches after being dropped for the prior three, but an illness could move him back to the bench against Bournemouth. Even if he starts, it's likely only 60 or so minutes are in play for him now that he and Rodrigo Muniz are both fully healthy. Jimenez has one shot on target in his last five starts.

Scored vs Burnley Jimenez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Burnley.

Impact Jimenez scored one of three goals scored for Fulham, having drew a penalty in the process. In 2026, the forward has scored five goals and one assist in 13 PL appearances, collecting nine shots on target, 12 key passes and winning nine tackles in that span.

Single shot in loss Jimenez had one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to West Ham United.

Impact Jimenez had a day to forget leading the line Wednesday, he took a single shot, failed to put it on goal and did little else. It was a miserable match for the Fulham attack and Jimenez was right in the middle of that. He just couldn't get anything done going forward and was frustrated throughout.

Nets brace Sunday Jimenez scored two goals from two shots while crossing once inaccurately and creating a chance during Sunday's 3-1 win over Sunderland.

Impact Jimenez scored in the 54th and 61st minutes while leading Fulham with his two shots in the match. The goals were the first since February 1st for the forward as he's combined for seven shots and two chances created over his last three league appearances.

Takes two shots in defeat Jimenez registered two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Everton.

Impact Jimenez was indirectly involved in his team's goal, with his lone shot on target in the match bouncing off two opposing players before going into the net. The striker also won nine of his 16 duels during the game. He has been extremely busy in the 2025/26 campaign, tallying six goals and three assists across 24 EPL matches (20 starts). However, the return of Rodrigo Muniz from a lengthy injury opens the possibility that the Mexican international will be relieved or rested in some games over the final half of the season.

Penalty sparks comeback Jimenez scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Manchester United.

Impact Jimenez kept Fulham alive by burying an 85th minute penalty into the top-left corner after being brought down in the box. He had been denied earlier in the same sequence, seeing a mishit effort saved before earning the spot kick. The goal completely changed the late game dynamic and gave the Cottagers a lifeline, though the eventual equalizer still proved out of reach. Jimenez took four shots (two on target) and netted his sixth goal of the season in 23 Premier League appearances this campaign, putting him at half of his last season's total as he continues to trail his previous scoring pace.
