Ramires was set to start on Sunday in Chelsea’s title-clinching victory over Crystal Palace, but mysteriously departed Stamford Bridge via ambulance prior to kickoff. No one knew exactly why, and this casted a dark cloud of uncertainty over west London for the time being. However, this afternoon the Brazilian international took to Instagram to assure his followers that he is okay.
Beside a picture of him standing in his home holding up a Champions 2014-2015 scarf with a big smile across his face, Ramires wrote: ‘Hello guys! As you saw, I was very sick yesterday minutes before the match because of a renal complication, but I’m well and home with my family. Thank God it was nothing serious and I will be fully recovered in a few weeks. Thank you to all that sent me messages and were with me. I would like to thank the Chelsea’s medical team for the exceptional job. I was sad not to be part of the party on the pitch, but very pleased with the title, the only English title I had left to concur. Congratulations Chelsea!’
The 28-year-old hasn’t played a huge role in Chelsea’s success this season nor has he had an incredible amount of game time due to injuries and his role in the squad, but Ramires has had some wonderful moments in a Chelsea shirt since joining a few years back. Now that the title is clinched, we’d expect Jose to not risk him in our last three matches.
