Jose Antonio Camacho believes Spain can cope without Raul if the player is forced to miss their World Cup quarter-final.

Raul aggravated an old groin injury during the victory over the Republic of Ireland and is doubtful for Saturday's game against either South Korea or Italy.

Spain are now waiting to see how the injury improves over the next couple of days before making a final decision.
