SERGIO RAMOS is reportedly targeting a return for Real Madrid’s trip to Chelsea next week.
The Mail claims Los Blancos captain Ramos, 35, hopes to be back in the starting XI for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final clash.
Real and Chelsea drew 1-1 in last night’s first game, with Christian Pulisic’s opener pegged back by Karim Benzema’s equaliser.
Real need to score at Stamford Bridge or face crashing out on away goals.
But they look set to be handed a huge boost in the return of Ramos.
He has played just three times in 2021 after suffering knee and calf injuries.
Ramos, who has also had coronavirus this month, looked to be back in training this week.
And with a place in the Champions League final stake, he could now be in line for a return to Real’s starting XI in London.
Ramos has been at the Bernabeu since 2005, scoring 101 goals in 670 games.
He has won an incredible amount of trophies, including five LaLiga titles and four Champions Leagues.

Ramos has also won an amazing 180 caps for Spain, and was a key figure in the Euro wins of 2008 and 2012, as well as the 2010 World Cup triumph.
However, Ramos’ time in the capital could be coming to an end this summer.
He is out of contract and it appears unlikely fresh terms will be agreed.
That’s led to a host of clubs entering the race for his signature, including Manchester United.
