Wolves have confirmed that striker Raul Jiminez suffered a fractured skull during yesterday's 2-1 win against Arsenal.

The Mexico international was injured after a sickening clash of heads with Arsenal's David Luiz in the opening half.

Wolves say he underwent surgery last night, and is currently "comfortable" in hospital.

Meanwhile brain injury charity Headway has criticised the decision to let Arsenal's David Luiz continue to play following that incident.

The defender passed an on field concussion check, but he was then taken off at half-time.

Headway says it reinforces the need for concussion substitutes, which would have allowed a more thorough examination of Luiz to be carried out.
