Hydraulic release bearing failure. Check if it's wet on the underside of the gear box bell housing. Try pumping the clutch pedal a few times before selecting gears if it gets easier to slip into gear it's a fluid leak

If the hydraulics aren't working and you aren't losing fluid, it could be either air in the system, or a failed master cylinder.
