Matchday 28 of the Premier League ends with the match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton. Prior to this meeting, the German strategist, Jurgen Klopp, highlighted the great work that Nuno Espírito Santo has done with the Wolves and stressed the importance of a player like Raúl Jiménez.

The Mexican striker has been out of the field for more than three months after the injury he suffered after a head clash in the game against Arsenal on November 29, 2020. Jiménez had become the offensive benchmark of the English team. Since their game, the Wolves' winning and goal percentage has decreased.

One of the most memorable goals of the ‘Lobo Mexicano’ in England was precisely against Liverpool. “Nuno's work has been incredible and it is a strange year for everyone. He cannot be replaced, there is no substitute for a player like Raúl Jiménez. That is clear, but they have done well ”, declared the German coach.

Regarding the evolution of the one born in Tepeji del Río, Nuno awaits the return of the Mexican before the end of the season, but they must be very aware of the situation. “I am totally sure (about the return). Of course we have to be very aware of the circumstances and avoid any kind of contact ”, assured the Portuguese.

The former team player like Atlético de Madrid and Benfica, has 47 goals for the English team and has had two consecutive seasons being the best player in the squad. In the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 seasons he was the team's most valuable player and also the top scorer. Despite being in 13th position, Jurgen Klopp hopes to find a more stable team unlike in the last few games they have had. "Again they seem stable, they are again the Wolves, a team that defends very well and we will face that," said the German.
