Raul Jimenez hopes he can return to action soon but will remain under observation for the time being after suffering a fractured skull against Arsenal on Sunday.
Wolves claimed a 2-1 win at Emirates Stadium but the occasion was soured early on by a sickening injury sustained by the Mexican.
In just the fifth minute, Jimenez contested an aerial duel with David Luiz and the pair clashed heads.
He required roughly 10 minutes of medical attention before he was eventually carried away on a stretcher and taken to hospital for checks.
It was discovered he suffered a fracture to his skull and underwent an operation that night.
Wolves released a statement on Monday confirming the procedure had taken place and that he was comfortable following the surgery �…

With all eyes falling on Old Trafford this weekend, Arsenal will travel to historic rivals Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Manchester United
Starting with the hosts, putting in a nightmare performance earlier in the week as they slumped to an infamous 4-0 drumming at the hands of Crystal Palace, Manchester United find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. With it now appearing inevitable that Erik ten Hag will be leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season, the former Ajax boss has come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Although the Reds might have eventually avoided an infamous FA Cup collapse last month as they edged past Championship outfit Coventry, United have remarkably collected just a single victory from any of th…
Brazil defender Dani Alves has no doubt over what he can offer to Tite s World Cup squad, despite being 39.
Former Barcelona and Juventus full-back Alves made the 26-man selection for Qatar, but is yet to feature at the tournament.
That seems set to change on Friday, with Tite set to ring the changes for Brazil s final Group G match against Cameroon, given the Selecao s place in the last 16 is already assured.
While acknowledging he is no longer at his peak, Alves – who made his Brazil debut in 2006 – is sure on just what he can bring to the team.
[I m] very proud to be able to be here, he said at a press conference.
I have been doing so for many years with the squad, so to be able to wrap up this cycle by playing in the World Cup makes me v…
Radja Nainggolan felt Roma paid the price for taking too many risks after letting slip a late two-goal lead in a 4-4 Champions League draw with Bayer Leverkusen.
The Italians fought back from an early 2-0 deficit to move 4-2 ahead at the BayArena, with second-half goals from Miralem Pjanic and Iago Falque putting them on course to clinch their first away triumph in the competition since November 2010.
However, Leverkusen picked up a point from a see-saw Group E clash when Kevin Kampl and Admir Mehmedi beat Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny in the final six minutes.
We dropped two points today and deserved to win because we played well from the start, Nainggolan told Mediaset Premium.
The penalty so early knocked us down, but we did well…
are in talks with Monaco over the possibility of signing Thomas Lemar, .
Lemar is a highly versatile attacking player, able to perform well on either wing, as a No. 10 behind a striker or even as the striker. After starting his career with Caen, he moved to Monaco in 2015, and he has made 124 appearances and scored 22 goals for them since.
He has been linked with a possible departure for a while now, mostly with Arsenal and Liverpool. It was reported that the Gunners even had a deadline-day bid rejected last summer.
But now it seems Atletico have jumped to the front of the queue as Liverpool pursuit other targets, while Arsenal are going through some structural changes and Unai Emery, who has replaced Arsene Wenger as the manager, will have a very limited budge…
Manchester City defender Angelino will spend another season out on loan after agreeing a temporary switch to NAC Breda.
The Spanish left-back joined City in 2013 and has previously enjoyed loan spells at New York City and Mallorca.
Angelino is yet to make a Premier League appearance but has featured for City in the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League.

…
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, s agent has been spotted in Milan with rumours running rampant that a switch to could be imminent. The 28-year-old Spaniard has been linked with a move away from Barcelona for quite some time now, having been unable to lock down a consistent place in the champions first team.
Vidal has been bouncing different clubs throughout the majority of both his youth career and his professional career, eventually landing at the Nou Camp back in 2015. In that time he s had a few shining moments, but a transfer elsewhere always felt like something of an inevitability. Inter have been viewed as the frontrunners for the last few months, and with these latest developments, it seems like this move is a step closer to becoming a reality.
Roma are …
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is puzzled by John Stones fitness problems and says the defender will not fulfil his potential unless he finds a solution.
Stones has missed 19 of City s 31 matches in all competitions this term because of separate muscle injuries, last playing in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on December 7.
The England international, a reported £47.5million signing from Everton in August 2016, is in line to make his latest return in Saturday s FA Cup third-round tie against Port Vale.
And Guardiola has challenged Stones to put his injury issues behind him in order to get his career back on track.
He has the conditions to do it, but to be the best central defender you have to play one entire season, being there every three days, …

Los Blancos were a class above Jurgen Klopp s men in Tuesday s first leg in the Spanish capital, Madrid running out 3-1 winners with Vinicius Jr scoring twice and Marco Asensio also on target.
