Zidane reveals injury concerns forced Ramos off: He had some pain in his calf Real Madrid The captain was withdrawn for Militao

Sergio Ramos was surprisingly replaced by Zinedine Zidane in Real Madrid's 3-2 win over Levante on Sunday, and the coach has revealed that it was due to the defender having some discomfort in his calf.

Eder Militao was always going to be introduced in order to prepare for the game against Paris Saint-Germain, for which Ramos is suspended, and the plan was to afford Raphael Varane some rest.

"Sergio had to come off because of some pain in his soleus," Zidane said afterwards.

The extent of the injury is not yet known, but Madrid will be hoping it's nothing serious due to their already-extensive injury list.
