The Brazilian was named in Chelsea’s starting line-up, but complained of a kidney problem before kick-off and was replaced in Jose Mourinho’s side by Juan Cuadrado.
According to The Mirror, Mourinho left Chelsea’s title-winning celebrations to make a quick dash to hospital to visit the former Benfica man.
There were serious concerns for Ramires, however he took to social media to say the illness was “nothing serious” and that he would be back to full health within a few weeks.
He posted: “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 Brazilian international is expected to miss next weekend’s clash with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
He has made 23 Premier League appearances for the Blues this season, scoring two goals.
