Axed Spain striker Raul has been given the backing of midfielder Cesc Fabregas to fight his way back into favour with coach Luis Aragones.
The Real Madrid goal getter was left out of the squad to face Sweden on Saturday for the first time in ten years for reasons other than injury.
But Fabregas, who will be expected to shoulder some of the responsibility now that Raul has gone, believes the Spanish legend will be back.
"He will soon return to be by our side," Fabregas told Marca.
"He will now be our number one fan. He is a professional who will fight to return.
"Raul has always been our leader even though there are plenty of other players in the squad with experience like Juanito, Carles Puyol, David Albelda and Fernando Torres." Read entire article
