Raul Jimenez is recovering from his serious head injury that caused a fracture to his skull. After the coup by Raul Jimenez, an old discussion came to light again whether to eliminate head blows in football or leave them behind. A former Tottenham and Hull City player, who had to leave football because of a blow to his head, spoke about the danger of this kind of play and left a clear wish.

In 2017, a blow to his head, similar to that of Raul Jimenz, prevented Ryan Mason from continuing to play soccer professionally. With only 29 years old, Mason had to decide to stay away from football because his health was at risk, luckily the same did not happen to Raul Jimenez and he will be able to return shortly.

Ryan Mason played for Tottenham and Hull City but his career was interrupted by a blow against Chelsea, the same rival as Raul Jimenez. In the wake of Raul Jimenez's injury and blow, Mason said he is confident that FIFA will analyze and ban head blows as they are very dangerous for all players.

For Mason in 10 or 15 years it will no longer be possible to hit the ball with the head to prevent injury. For Mason, what happened with Raul Jimenez is no coincidence since there is no awareness of the damage that hitting the head can bring. There are many players and former players who support this idea of Maso. For the moment, footballers can continue hitting the ball with his head because luckily Raul Jimenez did not suffer something more serious.
