The former Real Madrid centre-back is yet to kick a ball for his new club after three months - and he's just suffered another injury setback

Sergio Ramos’ unavailability for Friday’s Ligue 1 clash with Angers was news that Paris Saint-Germain fans were perhaps expecting but were certainly fearing.

Since signing for the Ligue 1 club on July 8, 2021 from Real Madrid under the freedom of contract rules, Ramos has failed to play a single minute for the PSG first team.

Indeed, throughout the calendar year of 2021, he has managed just five club matches of any sort.

Three months after arriving in the French capital, he is enduring a frustrating sequence of apparently nearing action only to suffer a relapse with his calf problem.

And this is despite credible reports that PSG’s medical staff were ‘blown away’ by the physical condition of the player, who has spent much of his absence posting videos of himself looking in excellent shape in the gym.

On a lucrative contract, Ramos' absence is proving to be a costly issue for his club.

The last week has been sadly typical of what the central defensive legend has had to endure since arriving in France. He was announced as likely to feature only for reports to break on Wednesday that it was not going to be possible, followed by a club statement 24 hours later confirming the news.

“Sergio Ramos will continue to train individually under the control of the medical and performance staff for another 10 days with the objective of returning to collective training,” PSG announced on Thursday.
