Jimenez has ex-factor to sink former club

-  EYAN TAYLOR & NEIL MOXLEY

MARCO SILVA is backing Raul Jimenez to kick-start his Fulham career tonight against former employers Wolves.

The Mexican striker has endured a tough adaptation to life in West London following his £5.5m summer transfer from Molineux.

But after netting his first goal for the Cottagers last time out against Aston Villa, Silva believes Jimenez has been freed from his shackles.

"Raul had a really bad (head) injury a few years ago," Silva said.

"When you're a striker and you're not scoring goals everybody starts to connect one thing with the other.

"What I can tell you is that I always see someone who is working hard and trying to help the team.
