UCL: Sergio Ramos To Miss Liverpool Games

Following a calf muscle injury, Sergio Ramos has been ruled out of Real Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.

The veteran defender, 35, picked up the injury while on international assignment and took to his Instagram account to express sadness over the development.

“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 return the love and energy that you transmit to me on the pitch,” he wrote on Thursday.

“I can’t do anything but speak frankly, work hard and cheer on the team with my soul.”

The Real Madrid captain explained that he had noticed a problem during training following his country’s win against Kosovo with scans on Thursday confirming the injury.

Liverpool will be away in the first leg of the encounter with the return fixture taking place in Anfield.
