At 37 years old, Sergio Ramos shows that he still has the legs to play in a high-level club. Returning to Seville after being gently pushed out by Paris Saint-Germain, the native of Camas is making a good debut with the Andalusian team. Of the 14 matches played by Sevilla FC since the start of the season, SR4 has played 7 matches: 4 in La Liga and 3 in the Champions League. Meetings that the emblematic Spanish defender all played in full and which gave him the desire to believe in an incredible return to the Spanish selection.
Unfortunately for Ramos, the boss of La Roja, Luis de la Fuente, made him understand publicly that his counter will remain stuck at 180 capes as long as he is in charge. “I don’t like to talk about private conversations and I’m very respectful of that. I think it was Sergio Ramos who talked about it. But what is clear is that just seeing how events unfolded shows that I am betting on the other players.” Today, there is another problem lurking around the former Parisian.
Sevilla do not know when they will play again
Ramos has a right calf injury and is not expected to play again until after the next international break in November. Which would therefore make him miss at least three shocks, namely the matches against Celta, Arsenal and the derby against Betis. A small blow for the player who sows doubt within the Nervion club. Sevilla assures that it does not fear too long an absence, but remains very cautious, like the speech given by the team’s coach, Diego Alonso. “The assessments we have of Ramos concern an injury that is not long-term, but we have to see day by day or week by week how he evolves. We don’t know if he will be ready before or after the break. »
And if this distrust is appropriate, it is because Sevilla knows that calf injuries spoiled Ramos’ last seasons in Madrid and the Spaniard’s first year at PSG. At that time (2021/2022 season, editor’s note), it was the left calf that was affected, but Ramos remained in the infirmary for 119 days, playing only thirteen matches with the Rouge et Bleu. A.S. indicates this morning that the player’s last season at PSG (45 matches played) silenced the critics, but nothing suggested a relapse in the calf. Faced with the Andalusian club’s inability to set a date for the return of its boss, the ghosts come back to haunt all these little people.
