MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos injured his left leg while playing for Spain and said Thursday he will miss upcoming matches against Liverpool and Barcelona.
Madrid said the 35-year-old Ramos has “a muscular injury to the inner part of his left lower leg.”
The Spanish club did not give an estimate on how long Ramos would be sidelined, but the center back ruled himself out of the important matches.
“What hurts me the most is not being able to help my team in these highly-demanding games when our season will be on the line,” Ramos wrote on Instagram.
