Jiménez cleared to return home from hospital

Raúl Jiménez will soon be able to continue his recovery from home. He fractured his skull in a match against Arsenal last weekend after clashing heads with David Luiz.

He underwent surgery and could be out for the next three months, but does hope to return to football.

His doctor Matt Perry said:  “Following Raul’s injury on Sunday, and the subsequent surgery, he has been recovering well in hospital."

“We are delighted with the reports from his specialist; he has made excellent progress. He should be ready to leave hospital by early next week. Once home, he will be reunited with his partner and young daughter who, because of Covid restrictions, he hasn’t seen since Sunday night."
