Sergio Ramos is injured again: Goodbye to Real Madrid?

Sergio Ramos is injured once again. After returning from his previous injury to play against Chelsea in midweek, he now has another issue and won't be able to face his former club Sevilla on Sunday night.

The captain was missing from Real Madrid's Saturday training session, with Los Blancos releasing a short medical report on the latest problem.

"Following the tests carried out on Sergio Ramos by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with tendenitis in the semimembranosus muscle of his left hamstring," it said, before adding that his progress would be monitored.

It isn't clear if Ramos will be able to play for Real Madrid again this campaign, with just four LaLiga Santander matches remaining.

The centre-back still doesn't have a new deal at the club, with his current contract expiring this summer. If he can't return from this injury before the end of this season and if he doesn't renew, then the Chelsea defeat will turn out to have been his final game for the club.

The year of 2021 has been tough for Ramos from the very beginning. On January 14, he played through pain in the Supercopa de Espana semi-final defeat to Athletic Club in Malaga. The focus was on getting back in time to face Atalanta and he managed to return on March 13 to feature against Elche, before taking on Atalanta on March 16. It was then decided that he wouldn't face Celta Vigo the next weekend with Real Madrid, before he did go away on Spain duty.

With his country, he played 45 minutes against Greece, no minutes against Georgia and then the final five minutes against Kosovo, after which he went down injured again. It wasn't until this week's Chelsea match that Ramos returned.

It's another big blow for the player and for the club, especially with Raphael Varane also currently out injured.
