Sorry to repeat myself or perhaps go over old ground but I thought he needed a hernia operation asap? As someone who has an inguinal hernia and on the NHS waiting list for an op I know from experience if you over-exert yourself the pain is bad. How can he play football under these circumstances?Raul is more important than Ronaldo to us on these boards as Julen Lopetegui has said in his press conference today..
Lets hope he gets back to full fitness during the World Cup and ready for Wolves after?
Raul Jimenez makes Mexico's final World Cup squad

Snap @northnorfolkwolf I also need a hernia repair operation to an old sport/ work related double hernia operation I had done 30 years ago.
I'm no doctor but be it a hernia, a groin or abductor problem I'd have thought any issue in that area of the body would be adversely affected by strenuous activity? I'll bet as soon as Jimenez gets back from the WC (whether he's played or not) it will be announced he needs surgery and will be out for several weeks/months.
I think you could be right. He's such an integral part of the mexico side. I can see them pumping him full of pain killers. Hopefully we've ensured they will have to pay compensation should his injury be exacerbated by playing in the WC but then again, they havent paid a cent for the wall.
Harry Kane is an integral part of the England team but if he hadn't played for months and had some groin issue that most probably needs surgery I don't think he'd be going to Qatar? If he needs surgery then he should have had it many weeks ago, WC or no WC.
He can't, which is why he isn't.....?
Agreed but then why is he in Qatar? I don't buy all this 'he's a Mexican icon' stuff. No international manager takes a player to a WC, however iconic that player is, if he's injured, on the off-chance he may get some minutes on the pitch at some stage. There's most probably some really exciting young Mexican striker sitting at home right now whose thinking 'I could be there'. And to respond to Super Gran's post above, I'm not being disrespectful, I'm just being honest.
Perhaps they plan to just bring him on for a penalty shoot out should they end up on one?
Playing devils advocate you could look at it from the other side that it’s possible that he’s delayed having an op to give himself a chance of playing in the World Cup which is to the detriment of Wolves.
True but the op itself is speculative isn’t it .
Absolutely and I guess we’ll find out what the truth is after the World Cup. In all honesty it wouldn’t surprise me if he retired
Me neither in which case let him enjoy the World Cup he’s been through enough
Just like you were ‘honest’ about Nuno.
There isn't.
He’s not fit that’s been made clear hundreds of times
Interesting, I didn’t hear that, where can I find that?
At least he can blame being legitimately injured.. what’s Coady’s excuse?
In his press conference
If it helps his mental health to be around his national team mates as has been said then it’s good for him and good for wolves to get his head right
Ahh okay.. I had taken that a bit differently.. I thought he was saying he was worried about Raul’s injury potentially getting worse as he hasn’t played a minute recently.. and that he (Lopetegui) was more concerned with Wolves than the World Cup
Yes that’s how I took it too.
Can’t argue with any of that.
right, the same club he almost lost his life over.
100% agree
