Nuno’s Arsenal counterpart Mikel Arteta said he knew “something really bad is happening” from the reaction of the players. Brazil centre-back Luiz, 33, played on with a bandage wrapped around his head before being substituted at half-time.
Speaking on Match of the Day 2 about the decision to allow Luiz to continue playing, former England striker Alan Shearer said: “Football needs to get real and wake up. It needs to get serious, not next month, now. This has been going on for far too long. The [concussion] protocols in football are not acceptable.”
Jimenez scored 17 goals as Wolves finished seventh in the Premier League last season. He had netted four times in nine top-flight appearances this term before Sunday’s match and signed a new four-year contract with the Molineux club in October.
