The blows continue to arrive for Real Madrid, which is heading to this week’s game against Getafe with several first-team players injured. Sergio Ramos is the most prominent of the recent injuries, as the captain will be out for longer than initially feared.
Los Blancos have not seen Ramos on the La Liga pitch since the January 10 draw with Osasuna in Pamplona. And now, Miguel Ángel Díaz of COPE has reported that the Spanish international will be missing six to seven weeks after he required surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his left knee.
It’s a heavy blow for Madrid as the club is fighting for its life in the title race and must crouch down to avoid any risk of missing the Champions League in the 2021-2022 season.
They must face Atalanta in the knockout stages of the Champions League without Ramos, who will also miss out on major league matches with Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid. Fans can only hope that he and fellow superstar Eden Hazard can return from their weeks-long injuries by the time they face Barcelona in the second Clásico of the season on April 11.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at three players who must take a step for Real Madrid with Sergio Ramos injured.
