Wolves star Raul Jimenez, 30, insists that he has no ill will towards 34-year-old David Luiz for his part in a serious head injury that threatened the Mexican international’s career.
A little about the topic
Raul suffered a skull fracture and a severe head injury following a collision with the then Arsenal defender in November 2020, having missed nearly a year of action as a result. But now he is back for both the club and the country and is determined to put this terrible incident behind him.
What did Raul Jimenez say?
preparing for his comeback at the current international break, Raul Jimenez said that one of their players will go to the front post and pass in front of him. If Raul Jimenez had not taken this step, he would not have jumped back, and he would have jumped in front of him.
Jumping backwards, he caught Raul free. Raul takes 100 percent of the blame from David; he walked with the intention of leading the ball; unfortunately it was on Raul’s head. The striker also admitted that his memory of the encounter remains vague and that he is trying to reconstruct the events with the help of his fellow wolves.
Raul Jimenez added that he has seen this several times. Jimenez asked videos of people and social media people at the club if they had different footage of the incident. Jimenez remembers nothing; they arrived at the stadium, that Raul went out to look at the field, went into the dressing room to change clothes and then the light went out.
Doesn’t remember when the match started, neither corner kick nor kick. While in the hospital. The 30-year-old player was conscious when he was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, but he does not remember it; Raul doesn’t remember after surgery. He has memories of what he did in the hospital, that they brought him food, that they prevented him from walking, but this is also not much.
