Which club did Wolves sign Raul Jimenez from?

As per Sky Sports, He said: “Two weeks ago I tested positive for COVID-19 but today, thank God, I feel very good. I was born in a country where solidarity is evident in very difficult moments like this one here. I know that these are very difficult moments but together we can get ahead.

“You can count on my support and my financial contribution via the Campana Foundation, helping various organisations and communities which need our support, to provide food and medicine. Please, stay at home.”

Campana joined Wolves from Barcelona SC Guayaquil in January but is still awaiting his debut under Nuno Espirito Santo. The Ecuadorian international made the matchday squad on two occasions but wasn’t introduced from the bench on either occasion.

Football has been postponed in the UK due to the spread of Covid-19, forcing players to train at home to stay in shape. The Government issued a country-wide lockdown, ban of non-essential travel and enforcement of social distancing, but some players had already contracted the virus before Boris Johnson’s announcement was made.

Prior to the postponement, Wolves sat sixth in the Premier League table with 43 points from 29 games this season, having lost the second-fewest amount of matches in the division (6). The West Midlands outfit were also in the last-16 of the Europa League after besting Espanyol over two legs.

There’s a risk of the competition being voided, however, as the Covid-19 spread hasn’t slowed down in Europe. Wolves drew 1-1 with Olympiacos in the first leg of the last-16 clash last month but may not have the chance to play their second leg.
