Set to lead Mexico's front line
Jimenez will look to serve as Mexico's first-choice center-forward in the upcoming World Cup, potentially retaining major responsibilities throughout the tournament.
Analysis: Jimenez was active for Fulham throughout the past Premier League season, recording nine goals and three assists across 36 appearances (27 starts). Given his extensive experience at the highest level, Mexico will once again place much of its scoring hopes on the 35-year-old striker, who ranks third on the national team's all-time scoring list with 45 goals in 125 appearances. In addition to his finishing ability, Jimenez provides value as a facilitator in the final third and should remain the favorite for penalty kick duties due to his remarkable efficiency from the spot.
Finds bench role
Jimenez (illness) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Wolves.
Analysis: Jimenez shook off the illness that had kept him out entirely last weekend, earning a spot in the squad after manager Marco Silva opted not to flag any concerns over his fitness in Friday's press conference. The forward has failed to score in his last five starts for Fulham, and the club opted to hand the starting role to Rodrigo Muniz, with neither striker expected to go the full 90 minutes given the stage of the season. Jimenez's availability from the bench gives coach Silva a useful option to rotate his attacking options as the campaign draws to a close.
