Video: Watch Raul Jimenez score his first goal for Wolves since returning from fractured skull injury

Raul Jimenez has scored his first goal for Wolves since the horror injury he sustained against Arsenal that kept him out for eight months.

Jimenez found the net after 30 minutes, having being named in the starting XI to face Stoke City in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

Leading the line with the support of Barcelona loanee Francisco Trincao and Adama Traore, the Mexico star was subbed off in the second half to huge applause as Bruno Lage's squad look to get minutes under their belt ahead of the new Premier League season.
