Wolves striker Raul Jimenez may be unavailable for their game agianst Watford due to possible FIFA sanctions.

The Premier League side did not allow Jimenez to meet up with Mexico for their upcoming World Cup Qualifiers.

Players who got on "red list" countries have to quarantine for a set period after returning to the UK, which would cause them to miss club matches on their return.

Now the Express and Star suggests FIFA could ban Wolves from playing Jimenez for five days post-international window, which would rule him out of the Watford game anyway.

FIFA and international FAs are not happy about Premier League clubs refusing to release players to specific nations during the international break.
