Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has been taken to hospital after sustaining a head injury during their trip to Arsenal on Sunday.

The Wolves players, immediately worried, summoned on the medical team and the game was paused for more than 10 minutes.

Luiz – who was bleeding from his head – rose to his knees after a few minutes and was bandaged up and checked by the medics before being allowed to continue.

Whereas there was more concern for Jimenez, motionless on the pitch, inside the six-yard box as the medics swept in to treat him.

Jimenez did not move as he was given oxygen, lifted onto a stretcher and the stretcher was placed onto a trolley, wheeled around the pitch and down the tunnel.

Fabio Silva came on to replace him and the game continued, the atmosphere even more surreal than before.  

It is believed Jimenez has been taken to hospital and receive further medical attention.
