‘Is it the beginning of the end for Sergio Ramos?’; The defender’s future becomes uncertain due to injuries

The future of Sergio Ramosplagued by injuries, is increasingly worrying in the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)where he has hardly played since his arrival last summer, and questions are already being raised as to whether the ex-Madridista, who is about to turn 36, will play football again.

“Is it the beginning of the end for Sergio Ramos?” asks the newspaper Le Parisianwho assures that his repeated injuries “do not bode well for the continuity of his career.”

The central defender has been chaining physical problems for a year without this negative spiral allowing him to have continuity in the game.

After having chained two games with PSG and having scored his first goal with the shirt of his new club, Ramos suffered a muscle injury in his right leg last week during training, a problem described as “low severity” by medical services .

However, it is the leg that, until now, had been safe, since it had been the left one that had kept him off the pitch for much of the season, since his arrival at PSG.

Ramos, who has only appeared in five games, is unlikely to arrive in time to face Real Madrid on February 15 in Paris in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

That had been the objective that had been set to establish himself in the Parisian defense and with his sights set on that duel he had begun to play minutes in the previous games.

His left leg seemed well recovered and everything indicated that the player would achieve the status that he deserves for his career and track record in the Paris defense.

PSG, whose game does not quite come together, thus gained a profile of experience, a player with a strong personality capable of raising the level of the entire dressing room.

But, at his best in Paris, it was his other leg that gave him trouble.

Dr. Jean-Marcel Ferret, who was a doctor for the French team, assures The Parisien that it is usual that, when a player goes through a long period of injury to one leg, the other suffers.

To which can be added, according to the specialist, the wear and tear of a footballer who has chained 19 seasons at the highest level and who will turn 36 next March.

The French press does not cease to praise the will of the Spaniard, who clings to training, but doubts whether so much physical activity, together with his promotional trips, could not be counterproductive for his recovery. (D)
