Sergio Ramos has not been in Real Madrid's last three matches due to a knee injury. The captain had otherwise started training again this week, but he suffered a setback on Thursday night. Now it may turn out that the damage is worse than expected.

According to the Spanish newspaper AS, the 34-year-old defender will have surgery on his knee today, and it can keep him out for up to 2.5 months. It is a huge blow for "Los Blancos" to lack their captain and defense general in a season that has already been difficult for the capital club.

If the injury is as bad as expected, then Sergio Ramos will miss the incredibly important matches in the Champions League against Atalanta, which are played at the end of the month. Besides that, he is also in danger of missing El Clásico against FC Barcelona, ​​which will be played on April 11 in Madrid.

Sergio Ramos has this season played 18 games for Real Madrid in all tournaments and scored three goals. In addition, he has helped keep seven clean sheets.
