Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos has taken to Instagram to share an image of his nasty nose injury suffered against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
In the first-half in the first ever Madrid derby at the Wanda Metropolitano, as he challenged for the ball in the Atletico box, Ramos was kicked square in the face by Lucas Hernandez.

Ramos attempted to play on with the broken nose, but the severity of the injury meant he had to be replaced by Nacho Fernandez at half-time in the scrappy derby affair.
And the Spain centre-back took to Instagram to post one gruesome picture of the blood spilling from his nose after the blow, while also posting a message to the Real Madrid fans and telling them that he would "bleed a thousand times" for the Los Blancos badge and shirt.
Ramos said in his above post that he'll be "back in no time" but Zinedine Zidane admitted he did not know when his captain will be available for selection again.

Although not exactly a popular figure with football fans on the whole, the former Sevilla man received plenty of praise after the nasty nose injury:
According to MARCA, Ramos will not undergo surgery on his nose and will instead play with a protective mask.
