Raúl Jiménez will be out for “a number of weeks” with injuries to his knee and groin, Wolves have announced.
The Mexico international striker suffered the injury during last weekend’s friendly against Besiktas, and will now miss the beginning of his team’s 2022-23 Premier League campaign.
“Raul came off in the game against Besiktas after he stretched for the ball and felt something in his knee and his groin,” Wolves head of performance and medicine, Dr Rob Chakraverty, said in a statement.
“Scans reveal that he has suffered a medial collateral ligament injury to his knee and a minor strain of his adductor. Neither injury is very serious but he is expected to be out for a number of weeks.”
Jiménez scored six goals in 34 league appearances last season after recovering from a horrific skull fracture the previous campaign that nearly ended his career.
Wolves begin their Premier League campaign on August 6 against Leeds.
