Wolves striker Jimenez to have knee surgery

Jimenez will undergo knee surgery this week and is ruled out until January after his medial collateral ligament injury failed to heal.

Raul Jimenez will have surgery on his left knee this Friday in London after a medial collateral ligament injury sustained in the Carabao Cup defeat at Everton a month ago failed to respond to treatment. The 35-year-old striker is expected to require around three months of rehabilitation and will miss action until January. Wolves director of performance Phil Hayward confirmed the ligament was not healing as anticipated despite regular scanning over three weeks.
