Real Madrid face a tough week ahead as Zinedine Zidane’s side will host Liverpool at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on 6th April. Later on 10th April, the El Clasico will be taking place followed by the second leg against Liverpool.
Real Madrid announced on Thursday that their captain suffered a calf injury during international duty with Spain. This is really bad news for the team ahead of such a crucial week.
“The truth is that I have had some pretty tough few weeks,” Ramos wrote on Instagram.
“A surgery is always a sporting and emotional break. Luckily, for a few days now I have been feeling better, but in football as in life, bad luck also plays a role.
“Yesterday, after the game, I was training on the pitch and I noticed a puncture in my left calf.
“Today I have been tested and have been confirmed that I have a muscle injury.
“If there is something that hurts me, it is not being able to help the team in these highly demanding matches in which we play the season and also not being able to give back to you on the pitch the love and energy that you transmit to me.
“I can’t do anything but speak frankly, work hard and cheer on the team with my soul.”
