Watch Raul Jimenez score first goal since horror head injury as Wolves striker nets in pre-season friendly vs Stoke

Watch Raul Jimenez score first goal since horror head injury as Wolves striker nets in pre-season friendly vs Stoke

RAUL JIMENEZ has scored his first goal since suffering a fractured skull against Arsenal last season.

The Mexican sustained the horror head injury in November 2020, with fears raised over whether he would be able to continue his career at all.

But after receiving the all clear from doctors, Jimenez has begun to step up his recovery this pre-season.

The 30-year-old will have to wear a protective head guard for the rest of his career.

And while wearing his new head protection, he made his comeback in a recent friendly against Crewe Alexandra, playing the first 33 minutes.

He then played an hour against Real Betis, before being rested against Las Palmas.

Jimenez was handed another start by new boss Bruno Lage against Stoke City this afternoon.

And the striker grabbed the chance with both hands, tasting that goalscoring feeling for the first time since November 17 last year, when he notched for Mexico against Japan.

The goal itself was a poacher’s finish, stealing in at the back post to sweep home a left-footed finish on the half hour mark.

It was his first Wolves strike since October 25, when he scored in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle.

The effort cancelled out Stoke’s opener, with the Potters having taken the lead through ex-Wolves ace Danny Batth in the 27th minute.

Jimenez lasted 74 minutes before being replaced by Patrick Cutrone – his longest outing yet since sustaining his injury last year.

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics. If our political elite were more than just yes men weighed down by the chains of political correctness, they would see that the people of Britain have had enough.  Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes?  Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon!

Federal Suit Hits Soros for $10 Billion for ‘Political Meddling, Motivated Solely by Malice’

Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
