Testing on Sunday ruled out a serious injury to the captain’s left knee. The priority is to have Ramos fit for the Clásico on October 24.
Today there has been relief at Real Madrid after Sergio Ramos’s left knee test results ruled out any serious injury. However, the captain remains hesitant for the Champions League group opener against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday. Doctors have warned that it may not be a good idea for Ramos to hasten his return with El Clásico at the Camp Nou just around the corner on Saturday. The last time the center-back was out, a European match went awry for Zidane’s team, which was beaten and eliminated from the tournament by Manchester City.
Ramos substituted in the Cádiz match
Ramos received a blow to his left knee during yesterday’s game against Cádiz, during a play in which he fouled the striker Lozano (who was also injured after the crash). The central defender managed to continue playing but was substituted at half-time after persistent knee pain. He was replaced by Eder Militão and retired to the stands where he had an ice pack tied to his injured knee.
The captain was unable to participate in this morning’s training at Valdebebas, but he worked in the gym together with Eden Hazard, Dani Carvajal and Álvaro Odriozola. Mariano trained outside the main group, while the rest of the players who started yesterday’s game were taken to recovery training, completing several laps around the perimeter of the field. As things stand, Hazard, Carvajal, Odriozola and Mariano are definitely ruled out for the Shakhtar game, while Ramos’s situation will be reviewed tomorrow.
