Raul Jimenez has ditched his protective headgear for a lighter model after struggling to judge the flight of crosses this season.
The Wolves forward wears the protection after suffering a fractured skull in a match with Arsenal in November 2020, which briefly placed his life in danger.
Jimenez’s return to top-level football has been remarkable. Yet he has scored only six times this season, compared with 27 in the 2019-20 campaign.
‘Sometimes, the trajectory of the ball meant there was a difference for Raul with the old headgear,’ said Wolves boss Bruno Lage.
