Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers were left in stitches following a club post from the Old Gold with a video of Raul Jimenez.
On Wednesday, the Molineux club posted a video of their Mexican striker wrapped up in clingfilm during their warm-weather training camp (as per Wolves), which many were left baffled by.
Keeping Raul Jimenez fresh.

Does Raul Jimenez have the potential to be as big a cult hero as Steve Bull?Yes, he could be a Wolves legend
No, he'll never be as good as him

However, due to the 28-year-old forward being the club’s only out-and-out first-team striker to have had minutes on the pitch this season (as per WhoScored), some felt that it was a method of keeping him safe.
Across all competitions so far this term, Jimenez has bagged an impressive 7.29/10 average rating (per WhoScored), which left many keen for him to be looked after.
Literally ‘wrapping him in cotton wool’ due to not having another striker

What do we think?
Like most of the reactions from supporters, this one seems a bit baffling as to what the clingfilm would actually be helping Jimenez with.
Perhaps, as one supporter suggested, they are just trying to keep the Mexican safe and fit for the remainder of the season, although there will likely be more at work than just that.
