Raul Jimenez set for Wolves absence until January after surgery confirmed
Wolves said the striker will have surgery after his knee injury failed to heal, with about three months of rehabilitation planned.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers confirmed on Wednesday that Mexican national team forward Raul Jimenez will undergo knee surgery in London, sidelining him until January 2027.
- Jimenez suffered an MCL injury during a 1-0 loss to Everton on Sept. 16, but the injury failed to heal as expected after four weeks of conservative treatment.
- Club director of performance Phil Hayward described the procedure as "fairly straightforward" for an experienced knee surgeon, with the ligament reattached to the tibia without reconstruction requiring three months of rehabilitation.
- Jimenez will miss November's Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals, a two-legged series against Jamaica, due to the recovery timeline.
- During the September-October window, Mexico struggled with replacements Santi Gimenez, Armando Gonzalez, and German Berterame, as none matched the consistency of Jimenez, who scored three goals at the 2026 World Cup.
