Fails to score Jimenez failed to score and only assisted once in 15 appearances (eight starts) this past season.

Impact Jimenez has not had a great time at the club after returning from his serious head injury. This was the first time in his Premier League career wherein he failed to score in a season. He has another year left on his contract and is currently not linked with a transfer away from the club.

Quiet outing at Arsenal Jimenez recorded no stats in Sunday's 5-0 loss versus Arsenal.

Impact Jimenez had a pretty quiet outing and did not log any relevant stats during the rout on the road. The forward for the second game in a row and ninth time in the season. It was a disappointing campaing for him, with only 15 appearances (eight starts), one assist and no goals to his name.

Almiron strikes to earn Newcastle 2-1 win over Wolves in EPL

Miguel Almiron came off the bench to reignite Newcastle’s Champions League qualification ambitions with the clinching goal in a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton in the Premier League

Two shots in loss Jimenez registered two shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Jimenez paced his outmatched Wolves squad in shots for the match but failed to put either of those attempts on target. He was relieved after 80 rather ineffective minutes for rest purposes by Diego Costa.

Logs helper Friday Jimenez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Jimenez was in the starting XI after appearing as a substitute his last time out. Although he didn't score, his assist on Pablo Sarabia's 22nd minute strike was certainly a step in the right direction for fantasy purposes and represents his first assist of the league season. Perhaps Friday's performance can be a catalyst of things to come for the oft injury-riddled attacker.

Quiet half against Man City Jimenez made a clearance and won one of one tackles in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Jimenez was once again ineffective from center forward on Sunday and he was replaced by Matheus Cunha at halftime. Wolves are still the lowest-scoring team in the Premier League, so even though it looks dire for Jimenez right now he could cement a more stable presence in the XI if he can start putting the ball in the back of the net.

Still working on fitness Jimenez "is feeling better' after playing just nine minutes in the last two matches, according to manager Julen Lopetegui. "Of course, we want him to be fit because we need all of...

Impact Jimenez was playing more at the World Cup, so it's clearly not a good sign for him that Lopetegui isn't opting to use him more. Throw in the addition of Matheus Cunha and Jimenez's current role in the side doesn't appear great. Unless he can take the spot of Diego Costa in the starting XI, it may be hard for him to find consistent playing time this season even though Wolves have struggled to score all season and need something else.

Back with club Jimenez joined his club for Friday's friendly draw with Empoli.

Impact Jimenez made three appearances off the bench for Mexico after returning from a groin injury at the World Cup. As he didn't appear to make anything worse, look for him to take good fitness into the return of league matches in late-December, namely a Dec. 26 Boxing Day contest against Everton.

Comes off bench versus Saudi Arabia Jimenez had two crosses (zero accurate) as a substitute in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia.

Impact Jimenez made little difference in another limited appearance as his national team failed to qualify for the knockout phase. The attacker racked up two crosses and three aerials won during 56 total minutes played. His reduced activity could suggest he wasn't totally fit after dealing with a groin injury throughout the season, and he might still take a bit longer to recover his top form.

Plays 19 minutes in draw Jimenez made one clearance as a substitute in Tuesday's 0-0 tie against Poland.

Impact Jimenez wasn't very active during a brief appearance as Henry Martin's substitute against the European side. The Wolverhampton man would normally be the main choice for the number nine spot but has only recently returned from a considerable injury so his playing time might be an issue again in the upcoming clash with Argentina. Still, his finishing ability and penalty kick duties make Jimenez relevant while he's on the pitch.

Plays off bench in friendly Jimenez (groin) played 45 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's friendly against Sweden.

Impact This is a bit of a surprise, mainly because Wolves were limited in any kind of information regarding Jimenez's injury. He was out since August with the injury, but it appears he's on the verge of health and fitness again. It'd still be a surprise if he started the Nov. 22 opener against Poland, but he'll be an option off the bench at a minimum.

Mexico striker Raul Jimenez to make return against Sweden

Wolverhampton striker Raul Jimenez is set to play his first game since August when Mexico takes on Sweden on Wednesday in its final warmup for the Qatar World Cup

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • Associated Press

Expected to play in friendly Jimenez (groin) is expected to get clearance for a Wednesday friendly against Sweden, according to national team manager Gerardo Martino.

Impact Jimenez did well enough to recover from a groin injury that's kept him out for all but three matches since August. Going into the Nov. 22 opener against Poland, Jimenez should be able to start at striker once he's considered fully fit. Until then it's Henry Martin who would spearhead the attack.

Impact Jimenez last got onto the pitch for Wolves against AFC Bournemouth on Aug. 31, a stretch of eight contests on the shelf. Once restored to the squad, Jimenez should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI and could offer top-end fantasy value given his offensive upside.

Back with team Jimenez (groin) returned to group training with Wolverhampton on Tuesday ahead of the weekend clash against Brighton.

Impact Jimenez has been out since August with a groin strain, but he is making progress with his recovery as his return to the squad shows. Wolves have three games remaining before the World Cup break -- including a Carabao Cup tie next week -- so Jimenez will hope to be able to make it on to the pitch and work up his match fitness before the tournament in Qatar begins.

Hopes to return before World Cup Jimenez (groin) remains out indefinitely but according to interim manager Steven Davis, the club are hopeful of getting Jimenez back before the World Cup break. "It's very difficul...

Impact The best chances of Jimenez returning sooner than expected is for his rehab to go absolutely perfectly, so it's not worth putting too much stock into his status until he's at least on a training pitch. Diego Costa has most recently taken over as the starting striker while Jimenez and Pedro Neto are out with longer-term injuries.

Top 50 players at 2022 World Cup, No. 50: Raúl Jiménez

Could be dealing with long-term injury Jimenez has not featured for Mexico over the international break and according to head coach Gerardo Martino, the "injury is worrying."

Impact There is starting to be some worry that Jimenez won't be available for the World Cup, but clearly it's too soon to label him out for the tournament. In the near term, it's unlikely he'll be ready for Wolves coming out of the break with a return date unknown. His absence means Diego Costa could be moved into the starting XI after training over the break.
