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

The Spaniard, 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.”
