Raul fit for Real's clash with Porto October 01, 2003 00:14 IST Last Updated: September 30, 2003 23:54 IST Raul Gonzalez will join the Real Madrid squad to face Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday after passing a fitness test on the eve of the game.
But he was able to join his teammates for a practice match on Tuesday and was later named in a 21 man squad for the trip. Real will be without David Beckham after the England captain suffered an injury to the sole of his right foot against Valencia, but centre-back Ivan Helguera is back in the squad. Real, nine times European Cup winners, are top of Group F after beating Olympique Marseille of France 4-2 in their opening match of the European campaign.
