11/14/2008 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is confident he will be able to return to action after his latest serious knee injury.
The 32-year-old Dutchman has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery in the United States, but Van Nistelrooy is adamant that he can still return to top-class football.
"This is one of the most difficult moments in my career," he told Marca. "It's pretty tough to be told that I will not return to play until the start of next season, that I will be sidelined for eight or nine months.
"But I have two options, give up or fight. I know I need to fight and my battle has just begun.
"I had no other option but to undergo surgery. The injury was a serious one, but I've gone to the best knee surgeon. He told me that I will return to play and I will return to play.
"It's true that I'm 32, but eight years ago I went through a similar situation as this one and I know what I have to do. I want to return to top form and be the player I was before.
"I have lots of goals left to score for Madrid and many aims yet to achieve. I still have a Champions League yet to win and I will give everything to win it.
"The recovery will be very hard, but no-one should doubt that I will overcome this."
