Available versus Tottenham Jimenez (knee) is a bench option for Saturday's tilt against Tottenham.
Impact Jimenez is good to go after missing time with a knee sprain and could see some minutes in the second half if need be, especially since they are going without a proper striker to start the game. He posted six goals, fou assists, 57 shots (16 on target) and 38 chances in 34 games last season.

Back in training Jimenez (knee) is back in training and wasn't ruled out by manager Bruno Lage ahead of Saturday's trip to Tottenham.
Impact It's hard to see Jimenez starting Saturday, but Wolves are fairly thin outside of a couple new signings. Jimenez strained his MCL less than a month ago and pushing him back into the squad seems like a mistake. At best, it seems like he'll be a bench option, as even if he's back in training, his fitness isn't likely close to 100 percent.

Out weeks Jimenez is "expected to be out for a number of weeks" with an MCL strain and an adductor strain, according to team Doctor Rob Chakraverty.
Impact Jimenez picked up the knocks in a friendly over the weekend against Besiktas and it's been determined he'll need far more time to recover. This is likely to delay the start of his season and in the interim, Fabio Silva could be most likely to benefit, assuming his preseason hasn't gone too poorly. With six goals and four assists recorded last season, Jimenez has struggled to recapture his initial Premier League form following a devastating head injury two years ago.

Picks up possible injury in friendly Jimenez was forced to come off in the 35th minute of Saturday's friendly against Besiktas with a potential groin injury.
Impact It's only two weeks before the season starts and an injury to Jimenez isn't what Wolves want. It's been a rough couple of seasons for him, as he fractured his skull two seasons ago and didn't look like his true self in the most recent campaign, something he'll hope to change in the new season, getting back to 2019/20 levels when he scored 17 goals.

Provides assist during loss Jimenez provided an assist, created two scoring chances and made two tackles (won one) during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Jimenez found Pedro Neto in the third minute to give Wolverhampton a 1-0 lead. In what was a season following a major head injury, Jimenez bounced back to six goals and four assists in 34 appearances (30 starts). He'll look to build on that in the offseason as Wolves compete for a place in European competition next season.

He was pushed back into the attacking midfield support behind Fabio Silva at striker for this game, rather than playing up top as a center forward or as part of a front two. It will be interesting to see if this is a lineup manager Bruno Lage tries again as the season winds down.
