Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos looks set to miss the first leg of his side's Champions League quarter-final clash with Liverpool, denying the veteran defender a hotly anticipated reunion with Reds frontman Mohamed Salah.
The centre-back returned from international duty with Spain earlier this week following a previous injury lay-off, only for the club to confirm that he has suffered a twisted muscle in his left leg.
It means the 36-year-old looks almost certain to sit out next week's crunch clash for Zinedine Zidane's side at Santiago Bernabeu as Jurgen Klopp's Reds head to the Spanish capital with a semi-final spot at stake.
