Ramos had just recovered from knee surgery and was ready to play. In fact, he played for Spain during this FIFA break. The defender picked up his calf injury during the break.
This is devastating news, even if Nacho Fernandez and Varane performed well without Ramos. His leadership and his presence in the center of the defensive line will surely be missed against quality teams like Liverpool and Barcelona.
