Pepe suffers thigh tear?

Real Madrid may have lost Pepe for an extended spell as the defender reportedly tore a thigh muscle against Alaves on Saturday.

Pepe lasted just 24 minutes of Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Alaves in La Liga, and Marca claims Los Blancos are fearing that the Portuguese may have torn the rear part of his left thigh.

If so, the injury marks a further blow for the 33-year-old, who has already missed seven matches this season.

He played no part in the European Super Cup and Madrid’s opening two matches in both the League and Champions League, while he was rested for two games after he pulled up against Espanyol.
