(Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo said he was surprised by the speed of progress Raul Jimenez has made from surgery on a fractured skull and is confident the Mexican striker can return to action before the end of the season.

Jimenez, 29, was injured after a clash of heads with Arsenal defender David Luiz in November. He received lengthy treatment on the pitch before being rushed to hospital.
