Real Madrid have announced that Sergio Ramos dislocated a shoulder during the 4-0 Champions League defeat of Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
Ramos, 29, was one of three Madrid players to suffer injuries during the Group A clash, with Gareth Bale and Raphael Varane also being forced to come off.
While there have been no details yet released as to the extent of the problems Bale and Varane sustained, Madrid have given an update on the Spain international.

A club statement read: "Following the tests carried out on Sergio Ramos today in the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital, the player has been diagnosed with dislocated acromioclavicular joint in his left shoulder. His condition will be evaluated."
Marca reports that the usual recovery time for the injury would be around two weeks, but Ramos is holding out hope that he will be available for the meeting with Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday next week.

Ramos, who was replaced by Nacho in the 59th minute at the Santiago Bernabeu, took to Twitter after undergoing the tests to tell his fans that he is working on a speedy recovery.
Madrid have not commented on the condition of Bale, who coach Rafa Benitez said after Tuesday's game had suffered a "spasm" in a left calf muscle.
The lack of detail from the club means the €100 million Galactico remains a doubt for Madrid's big looming La Liga games at Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, and also for Wales' huge upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers in Bosnia on Oct. 10 and three days later at home to Andorra in Cardiff.
Benitez had also suggested that the calf problem was similar to issues previously suffered by Bale -- and AS have pointed out that that former Tottenham player has been sidelined on four occasions by calf problems since joining Madrid in summer 2013.
