Paris Saint-Germain said that Ramos would need surgery and may miss up to three months of play.

During the opening weekend of the French league’s Le Havre vs. Paris Saint-Germain encounter, Gonzalo Ramos sprained his left ankle severely and may require surgery to resolve the injury.

The French club stated that he is anticipated to miss three months, which is a blow to an already weakened side after the sale of their star striker Kilian Mbappe during the summer.

Gonçalo Ramos assisted the opening goal as the multiple-time Ligue 1 winners defeated Le Havre 4-1. However, he was replaced after 20 minutes due to the injury.

The 23-year-old Ramos was seen leaving the Le Havre stadium on crutches and with a brace on his left foot in pictures that were shared on social media.

As a result, Roberto Martínez will not have the striker available for the September 5 and 8 Nations League games against Croatia and Scotland at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, which will be announced on August 30.

Following his participation in Euro2024, when the Portuguese were eliminated by France in the quarterfinals, this will be Roberto Martínez's first chance to experiment with his full set of players to build to the next World Cup.
