great to see
I hope this doesn't ruin his career. He is one of the best strikers in the league and at the prime of his career. Shows how precarious a footballer's career is. An injury can cause you to be out for months or you have to retire.
Yes, it is!
Fantastic. Hope to see him back on the pitch one day.
So happy to see him round and about.
Brilliant to see. Fingers crossed he will be able to be back on the pitch some day. Cracking player and one I would very much have liked to see us sign.
That’s fantastic to see I hope he makes a full recovery.
Gutted about his injuries.
Great to see he looks okay and recovering.

I think that would be impossible to police, no?
How would the referee be able to determine the heights players have jumped from?
Good luck to him. Really hope he can somehow make a full recovery.
One of the best striker in the league. Hope He can recovery well....
Bad man mentality. The early signs are promising. I don’t remember hearing anything about Mason for ages.
Bad man as in beast, just to clarify *
If he can be back, it would be great for the game. I would hate to see him lose the ability to have a career on an injury, especially that kind. But I really hope it doesn't leave some sort of trauma on him, especially for heading challenges. Well, things look positive so that's great.
Mason said it took months before he could go outside because of the light and that even people speaking at regular volume was too much for him. Thankfully Jimenez's case doesn't seem to be anywhere near as severe but mentally it's surely going to be a challenge to get back to playing even if he is declared to be ok in a physical sense.
Amazed he's up and walking about so fast. That was 1 hell of a hit he took.
It isn't as serious as Ryan Mason's injury obviously. You can read about his experience in the link below.

If he’s back I do expect him to wear a head guard.
I do wonder if this will start becoming the new norm to wear? Why hasn’t this been explored to make the game safer?
Good news.
That is brilliant news and hopefully he comes back the player he was. Wolves have truly missed him.
Raul Jimenez: Wolves striker returns from fractured skull in pre-season friendly defeat

Returned today and I'm very curious how his career will go from hereon. Surely he won't be able to attack the ball head-wise as much?
Hoping for the best, of course. He was a real talent prior to his devastating injury.

One of my favourite strikers in the league and always a nightmare to play against! I hope he stays fit and can reignite his career! Tremendous mentality!
He should be fine in terms of heading etc...He has been cleared by docs etc.
The issue will be mentally, will he challenge as hungry as before in the air etc...

He just needs to look at Alex Telles if he needs some inspiration.
Yeah, i just realized that Telles has scars on both side of this head. What was that about?
Good to see him out there. 60 minutes against Real Betis.
Skull-fracture from clashing heads with another player while challenging for a high ball, back when he was still playing for Gremio. Don't know if it was as egregious as Luiz on Jimenez, but it resulted in the same kind of injury.
