From ecstasy to agony: Rodriguez celebrates his opener against Sevilla

James Rodriguez is facing two months out after breaking his foot in Real Madrid's victory against Sevilla.

The Colombian broke his fifth metatarsal in the 2-1 win, which opened up a four-point gap at the top of La Liga.

Rodriguez opened the scoring with a diving header after just 12 minutes, but later left the pitch in some pain following the broken bone.

A Real statement from earlier today read: "After the tests carried out on James Rodriguez by the Real Madrid medical services at the Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital, he has been diagnosed with a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

"The player will undergo surgery in the coming hours."

Segio Ramos also left the field for Carlo Ancelotti's side with a hamstring problem, but it is unclear how long he will be out of action.

Jesse Rodriguez doubled Madrid's lead, before former Liverpool player Iago Aspas scored a late consolation for Sevilla.

James will be missing for the Madrid derby with Atletico this Saturday, and their upcoming Champions League tie with Schalke.
