Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez says he hopes to be back playing football soon despite suffering a fractured skull in a horrific clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz.

The 29-year-old Mexican international tweeted from his hospital bed where he is under observation following an operation. Jimenez received 10 minutes of treatment on the pitch after the clash of heads in the first half of the Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. He was subsequently wheeled off the pitch and taken to hospital. "Thanks for your support messages," he tweeted.
