Raúl Jiménez Faces Form Questions Ahead of World Cup
Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez has left the Premier League to concentrate fully on Mexico's World Cup preparations. With 44 international goals, he ranks third in the nation's scoring charts, yet he has managed only two goals in the past eleven months.
The dip in his output has sparked debate over whether he should start in the tournament. Ahead of the final friendly against Australia on May 30, Jiménez told the press he is "not desperate to score at the World Cup".
His comments will be scrutinized by fans and analysts alike.
