Raul hoping for March comeback

Spain and Real Madrid captain Raul hopes to make his comeback from a knee injury in early March.

"I'm happy and satisfied because treatment is going to plan," said Raul, who suffered a ruptured meniscus and a partial knee ligament rupture when playing for Real against Barcelona on November 19.

"There's no fixed date for my return. The most important thing is that I feel good. I haven't yet started to kick a ball. I hope to be back in around one month," he said Wednesday.

"I hope to help Real Madid for the last three months of competition," added the 92-time capped striker.
