Sergio Ramos, James Rodriguez and goalkeeper Beto had to leave the pitch due to a series of injuries before the 35th minute mark.

During the match between Real Madrid and Sevilla, one curious fact invaded the pitch affecting both teams with three players leaving the pitch after sustaining different injuries.

The first one to go was Sergio Ramos, who left Real Madrid without one of their key defenders after nine minutes. His injury will be a matter of concern for Carlo Ancelotti, since Los Blancos play a crucial match on Saturday against Atletico. The former Sevilla player left the pitch substituted by Nacho.

The second player to be substituted was James Rodriguez. The Colombian midfielder was aided by the team's doctors before leaving the pitch, and apparently his right foot will have to undergo further examination. This is not James' first injury this season, not being able to participate with Los Blancos in the Club World Cup back in December.

The third player to leave the pitch was Sevilla's goalkeeper Beto. After denying Karim Benzema a chance to score, the goalie laid hurt on Santiago Bernabeu's pitch before being carried away by the team's doctors.
