Raúl Jiménez suffers knee injury during Wolves vs. Everton match

Mexican striker Raúl Jiménez sustained a left knee injury during the third round of the Carabao Cup in a match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton. The incident occurred in the 37th minute while Jiménez was attempting to recover a ball. After receiving medical attention on the pitch, he was substituted by Adam Armstrong and went directly to the dressing room for further evaluation.

While the exact severity and recovery timeline have not yet been confirmed, Jiménez was able to walk off the field under his own power. The injury comes at a critical time for both club and country; his availability for Wolverhampton’s upcoming match against West Bromwich Albion is uncertain, and the injury may jeopardize his inclusion in the Mexico national team’s upcoming FIFA international window under manager Rafael Márquez.

Everton won the match 1-0, resulting in Wolverhampton's elimination from the tournament.
