Real Madrid crock Raul admits World Cup worry

Real Madrid captain Raul expects to be back in action in "three or four months".
 
Raul suffered a knee injury on Saturday against Barcelona and initial scans have led Real medicos to predict the striker being out of action for three to six months.

"I am happy," said Raul. "It isn't as bad as first thought and I won't need surgery."

"At the moment I am aiming to be playing in three or four months. But if things haven't improved in two or three weeks then I will have surgery."

"It is a concern that I could miss the World Cup, but I want to stay positive as by all accounts that is a very remote possibility."
