at the Wolverhampton the “Raúl Jiménez effect“. the team has suffered the absence of the Mexican in this winter after adding only one Premier League victory in the last eight games disputed without the striker, who recovers from the skull fracture who suffered and seems to be going for long.
while Raúl Jiménez was level to play, the set of Wolves had an acceptable streak of results. Of the 18 games that have been played so far, Jimenez was present in the first 10 games, where they added five wins, two draws and three losses.
The Mexican gunner scored four goals in these 10 matches, which meant valuable points for the team led by Nuno Espirito Santo. Especially in the game against Leeds United of Marcelo Bielsa, where both meant a victory. Besides, the goal against Newcastle was important to get the tie at home, al Molineux stadium.
The other so many were written down in the defeat against Manchester City (1-3) and in the 2-0 victory over Sheffield United.

without Raúl Jiménez, the Wolves have only been able to win one league duel, Which was the duel ahead Chelsea with an agonizing last minute goal from Pedro Neto. It was something that literally reached the 95th minute in a miracle for the English club.
in this day 18 the fifth defeat was accumulated. Raúl Jiménez appeared at the stadium to watch his team while it showed the scar left by the injury. However, he was unable to give luck to his teammates and they lost at home to Everton by 1-2.
