Zidane reacts to Sergio Ramos’ sudden knee surgery

After the news of Sergio Ramos’ knee surgery, Zinedine Zidane had time to express his reaction to not having his skipper for six weeks.

Not having Sergio Ramos for six straight weeks has to be a major handicap for Zinedine Zidane’s title ambitions this season. The Spanish captain is missing a key part of the season in all competitions that will prevent him from playing key matches. Mainly, the Champions League games against Atalanta are the ones that might deeply affect the squad. But Ramos needed that surgery with relative urgency.

If he didn’t treat it quickly, there was a chance his problem would become more serious as time went by. Now that we know his surgery went well, it was time to hear what Zidane had to say about the whole situation. Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left, Ramos has been the most important player for Real Madrid. Certainly, not having him in the squad will hurt the team. But Zidane wants to remain positive about the whole situation.

Zidane still hopes Real Madrid can thrive.

It’s not only Ramos, other Real Madrid players are also starting to fall injured in a complicated season for Los Blancos. Zinedine Zidane was relieved after tonight’s victory at Huesca, especially for winning without their skipper. Through Diario AS, this is what Zidane said after the match: “I value this victory because of what we are experiencing. We have seven or eight important absentee players, even with our captain’s recent surgery. This is what we have right now.

“All we want is to have all the players back with us. All we can do is fight. I sent Sergio a message already. I know the surgery went well and we know he will get back to work tomorrow in order to return. This is all that matters to us. This surgery was important for him to remain calm. He had to do it because he was reaching a limit already. The procedure was successful and that’s all that matters. He will start working tomorrow in order to return as soon as possible.”
