Raúl

Veteran Real Madrid striker Raul says he doesn't know if he will play in El Derbi but says he expects that the team will remain the same when Los Merengues take on neighbours Atletico Madrid in the local derby at the Vicente Calderon stadium.

Raul has not started for Los Blancos since the humiliating 4-0 defeat to Alcorcon in the Copa del Rey and has instead had to settle for a place on the bench but the striker insists that he has no complaints.

"In the last two games the team played well and I suppose we will continue with the same eleven," he told a press conference.

"I do not know if I will play the derby. I have said that the team was well against Getafe and Milan and I guess nothing will change. What I have to do is work to help the team when necessary. But for now I cannot complain about how the season going."

Raul has managed 11 goals against Los Colchoneros in previous meetings in El Derbi.
