Jimenez Back In Wolves Training Is Surreal – John Ruddy

Raul Jimenez’s return from injury at Wolves is absolutely surreal, club goalkeeper, John Ruddy has said. He recently revealed that the Mexican now has more power because he’s got the headband.

According to him, having the striker back in training is superb news for the club because he was really missed last season.

He added that Raul has worked tirelessly hard to get back to the point that he’s at now and everyone has to respect his drive.

His words, “It’s amazing. He’s been back in training for a few months, but to see him out on the pitch is brilliant.”

“It’s surreal to see how well he’s done in such a short space of time. I think it was only three or four weeks after he did it and he was out and about, walking, doing keepy-ups with the ball, and it was incredible.”

“But he’s worked tirelessly hard to get back to the point that he’s at now. We take our hats off to him and we’re delighted to have him back. It’s a testament to himself and the medical team, and obviously the support that we got at the time for the injury.”

“He’s done all the tests, he’s come through everything, and that’s why I said it’s a testament to our medical team because they’ve made sure he’s ticked off every box that he’s needed to before he stepped out onto the pitch.”

“Fair play to Crewe, they gave him a good reception as well, which is brilliant to see, and I thought we saw exactly what he brings to the team in the half-an-hour he had.”

“His link-up play, his intelligence and the way he presses for us is vital. He was well up for it and his flick-ons and heading ability in general hasn’t really been affected, and he might even have a bit more power because he’s got the headband.”

“It’s been a long-overdue return for him, but we’re delighted to have him back and look forward to him playing more this season.”
