Paris Saint-Germain signed Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid on a tree transfer in July, but the centre-back yet to be unveiled to the fans on the pitch. The Spaniard has been nursing a calf injury for a long time, and is expected to remain on the sideline a little longer.
L’Equipe reported that the side is not expecting the defender to don the jersey soon. His debut was being lined up for a while, and it is constantly getting postponed.
Speculations started suggesting that PSG weren’t aware of the extent of his calf injury before signing the four-time Champions League winner.
However, their sporting director Leonardo has confirmed that they were well aware of what they were getting into when Ramos signed on the dotted lines. The recent medical reports aren’t promising as well, and the fans are still waiting with their eyes wide open.
It isn’t like Mauricio Pochettino has a shortage in the central defensive area, with options like Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Thilo Kehrer and Abdou Diallo stepping up in the role. They just registered a morale-boosting comeback win against Lille, which saw Angel Di Maria score a beautiful goal in the 88th minute to win them the game.

In just 12 games, Pochettino’s side are already 10 points clear on the Ligue 1 table, making it nearly impossible for the other contenders to come anywhere close.
Ramos signed for the club in July, and he took his much-preferred number 4 jersey from Kehrer, and the 25-year-old later shifted to 24. Although his trajectory with the Real Madrid side has been on a downward slope since 2018, he did win the league title once and was a part of a semi-finalist team. He made a whopping 671 appearances for the Galacticos during an illustrious career that lasted 16 years.
