Sergio Ramos undergoes successful operation on his left knee

It's good news for the Los Blancos as their captain had a successful operation. Sergio Ramos had an operation for the internal meniscus of left knee. 

The surgery has been carried out by Dr. Manuel Leyes, under the supervision of Real Madrid Medical Services

The 34-year-old had missed Real's last two La Liga outings against Alaves and Levante with a torn meniscus. 

He returned to training after over two weeks out, but decided to go under the knife after advice from the Real medical staff in order to fix the issue and return to full fitness.

It's been gathered that Ramos could be out for six to eight weeks, therefore missing Real's Champions League round-of-16 tie against Atalanta on February 24 and the Madrid derby on March 7.

"Our captain Sergio Ramos successfully underwent an operation today for an injury to the internal meniscus of his left knee," a Real Madrid statement read on Saturday.

"The surgery was carried out by Dr. Manuel Leyes, under the supervision of the Real Madrid medical staff. Sergio Ramos will begin the recovery process in the next few days."
