2001 Renault Clio 1.4 - 2001 Clio ABS light and very nasty noises - Aggress

Started a short journey with what sounded like a faint knocking from the drivers back wheel which soon turned into full metal on metal scraping noises, loud knocking and partial lock up. ABS light on. Not fun. Going to take it in this week but wanted to get an idea what specifically it might be and what sort of damage I could be looking at

Thanks in advance
