Sergio Ramos ready for battle as Real Madrid star sports protective mask

After having his nose broken during the Madrid derby last weekend, Sergio Ramos is now scheduled to return to action for Real Madrid ahead of this Saturday's La Liga tie against Malaga.

With the bruising not yet fully healed, the 31-year-old defender has revealed that he will be wearing a protective carbon fibre mask for the occasion, and not just any old carbon fibre mask either.

Indeed, Ramos shared a photo of his latest accessory on social media, revealing his mask will carry on it a special motivational message: "Work hard, dream big."
