Mexico boss Gerardo Martino reveals Wolves star Raul Jimenez is in 'good shape' and could still make Olympic Games in Tokyo as he continues recovery from fractured skull

Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is in 'good shape' and could still make this summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo, says Mexico manager Gerardo Martino.

Jimenez has not played since he suffered a fractured skull in a sickening clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz at the Emirates Stadium in November.

But the 29-year-old has linked up with the Mexico squad ahead of Saturday's friendly with Wales in Cardiff, although he has guarded against a setback by wearing a protective headband during team drills and skipped contact training with the rest of Martino's men.
