Wolves midfielder Gibbs-White: Magical to have Jimenez back on pitc

Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is delighted for Raul Jimenez after his playing comeback.

Raul was back for the yesterday's friendly against Crewe.

Gibbs-White told the club's website: “It was a magical feeling. To see where he's come from, to be back so soon, we can only thank god – it's a miracle. He's come back strong, he's put in so much work over time and everyone is glad to see him back.

“He just makes our game easier, he's always moving, always offering for the ball, and when he's in front of goal you know he's going to score. We've just got to give him time, get him fit and make sure he's 100 per cent in himself, and when he's ready to go, he's ready to go."

He added: “He's massive for us, the way he works, what he brings to the game, the goals he scores. You saw last season, when he had the injury, when we didn't have him, we were lost, so hopefully he can come back and score more goals for us.

“It gets us excited, knowing our top goal scorer is back and ready to go. Playing with him makes our game so much easier because you always know where he's going to be, where he wants the ball, and he can finish around the box. We can't wait for him to come back at Molineux."
