Wolverhampton have announced that Raúl Jiménez will undergo surgery on the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in London this Friday.
According to Phil Hayward, the club's head of performance, speaking to the official website, the Mexican striker will be sidelined until January.
The injury occurred four weeks ago against Everton and has not healed as the medical team had hoped. After three weeks of regular assessments and consultations with several knee specialists, the club has decided to proceed with surgery.
Hayward explains that a low-grade injury like this usually heals on its own, but continuing with conservative treatment risked losing more time if surgery ultimately proved necessary. The procedure involves reattaching the ligament to the tibia, without the need for reconstruction, and aims to give the club greater control over the recovery timeline.
Recovery is expected to take around three months.
