Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing for Thursday’s Europa League Group K opener at Molineux.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have taken to Twitter to show off a training-ground moment of magic from the talismanic Raul Jimenez.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s charges are currently preparing for a huge match, namely their Europa League Group K opener with Braga at Molineux on Thursday night.
Although Wolves have got off to a shaky start in the Premier League, they will be hoping to give the Molineux faithful a European night to remember this week when the 2010-11 EL runners-up come to town.
On the training ground, Jimenez weighed in with a superb back-heel volley which the Wolves channel described as “absolute sauce”:
Although Wanderers remain without a win in the Premier League, Jimenez has nonetheless had a decent start on a personal level with two goals in the five games played so far, while his Europa League tally stands at an impressive six goals and one assist in six games (Transfermarkt).
The Mexico international has had a very busy calendar year, what with all the games he’s played for club and country, but with Gerardo Martino not expected to pick him for El Tri duty for the rest of the year, it means less workload and air miles for the player – which will be of big benefit for him and for his club.
