Real Madrid defender Pepe has been ruled out with injury.

Pepe faces a month on the sidelines with a muscle tear.

The Portuguese defender was hurt in training on Friday morning, having played in Thursday night's 2-0 loss to Levante in the Copa del Rey.

A scan has found he has torn a muscle in his left leg, ruling him out for around four weeks.
