Real Madrid captain Raul has told teammate Ronaldo he must be at "100 per cent" if he expects to make a return to the starting line-up.

Ronaldo was reportedly furious after being left on the bench for the weekend's win at Nastic and Raul said last night: "Those that are not playing right now are in only a fleeting situation. Ronaldo has not done a normal preseason and other teammates are in better shape.
"But Ronaldo has desire to play, there is no other like him. There will be many games and he will get the chance to help the team. We are in November and there's a long way to go. He must try to help us by training well, because then we will all see his value.
"Ronaldo is a champion. The personal situation for some at the moment can be difficult. But we come from years of great suffering and know that in the group that unity is our strength.
"We cannot jeopardize this, and Ronaldo knows that. To play we have to be at one hundred percent. Ronaldo is going to demonstrate this."
