Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez has revealed he how lays no blame with David Luiz for the fractured skull he suffered last November during a game against Arsenal.
The Mexican international came off worse in what was a gruesome clash of heads with the former Gunners central defender, who has since returned to his home country of Brazil.
Jimenez was forced to undergo surgery which ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign before returning to action.
The incident, which resulted in Jimenez spending a week in hospital, is not something the striker can remember just under a year later.
But he has since watched back footage of his clash with David Luiz - and insists he does not attribute any blame to the Brazilian.
"One of their players goes to the front post and passes in front of me,” Jimenez explained to Colombian network W Radio.
"If I didn’t take that step, I wouldn’t jump backwards, and I would have jumped in front of him.
"Jumping backwards, he caught me loose. I take 100% of the blame off David Luiz; he was going with the intention of heading the ball; unfortunately, it was on my head."
Jimenez also revealed he asked to see as many different angles of the incident as possible in order to try and piece together some memory of the fateful day.
"I’ve seen it (the play) several times. I asked the video people and the social media people at the club if they had different shots of the play," the striker said.
"I don’t remember anything; I remember that we arrived at the stadium, that I went out to see the pitch, I went into the dressing room to change and then the lights went out.
"I don’t remember when the match started, nor the corner kick or the blow.
"Being in the hospital. I was conscious when I was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, but I don’t remember that; I don’t remember after the operation.
"I have memories of things I did in the hospital, that they brought me my food, that they stopped me from walking, but it’s not much either."
