Real Madrid striker Raul Gonzalez will be out for two to three weeks with a knee injury suffered in the weekend defeat to Barcelona.

Madrid says the Spain international has "post-traumatic inflammation of his right meniscus" following the 2-0 loss to Barcelona on Saturday. Raul played the final 21 minutes of the match after replacing midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.

Madrid trails Barcelona by three points with seven games to play.
