The defender has a muscle problem

He will not play in Vigo this weekend

Real Madrid have confirmed an injury to Sergio Ramos, who will miss this weekend's trip to Celta Vigo in La Liga (Sunday, 20.45h). 

A statement said: "Following tests carried out on Sergio Ramos by the Sanitas Real Madid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscular injury in the soleus of his left leg. His recovery will continue to be assessed."

It's a setback for Zinedine Zidane who had reserved Ramos, along with other regulars, for the midweek Copa del Rey win (3-0) at Numancia. 

Madrid play Celta on Sunday, then welcome Numancia to the Bernabeu on Jan. 10 for the second leg of their round-of-16 tie. 

On Jan. 13, Zidane's side welcome Villarreal to the Bernabeu in La Liga, before the Copa del Rey quarterfinals take place the following midweek. 

It's not clear how many games Ramos will miss at this stage.
