Sergio Ramos Will Be Allowed To Play In Valencia

Too bad this doesn't work for Real's last 60 minutes of the match against Osasuna. Ramos will play in Valencia after the committee withdrew the first yellow card he saw in Pamplona.

Therefore, Carlo Ancelotti will not be forced to play Álvaro Arbeloa in that position, so Nacho and Ramos will be the team's central defenders.

Yes, this should be good news for Real Madrid. But if Ramos' form is still that bad, one could argue that a Nacho-Arbeloa partnership couldn't be much worse...
