Sergio Ramos has provided further proof he will be fit for Real Madrid's crucial El Clasico against Barcelona on Saturday by posting a video of himself in training.

The Spanish defender injured his shoulder when he landed awkwardly after scoring a bicycle kick against Sevilla before the international break, and reports in Spain suggest the Los Blancos captain might need an operation.

But Ramos signaled his intent to play through the pain barrier with a video showing him going through individual drills in the gym.

Over the weekend the Real captain posted several photos of himself training in the gym ahead of the clash

Ramos missed Spain's victory over England on Friday and was instead in Madrid trying to get himself ready for the Barcelona clash.

On Saturday the defender posted several pictures of himself in the gym on Instagram looking fit and ready to go, but Madrid newspaper Marca say Ramos broke down in pain in training on both Monday and Tuesday this week.

According to Marca Ramos could go under the knife after making it through Saturday's Clasico, which would leave Real without their captain for six to eight weeks.

It's been a busy week for the man capped 130 times by Spain as his girlfriend Pilar Rubio gave birth to the couple's second child at the weekend.

However, Ramos was clearly keen to show he is focussed on Saturday's task of overcoming Barcelona at the Bernabeu as second placed Real look to leap-frog their rivals at the top of La Liga.
