The Spanish newspaper "Marca" announces that Madrid defender Pepe, who is not free from scandals, has been removed from the starting lineup for two weeks.
Portugal has received a lot of criticism for attacking the leader of the opposing team Lionel Messi during the King's Cup tournament match. The referee did not notice this episode.
The 28-year-old Pepe apologized for his actions and insisted that he never intended to deliberately hurt his colleagues.
However, "Real" decided to take action and forced the football player to take a couple of weeks off, which means missing matches against Bilbao "Athletic", "Zaragoza" and "Barcelona".
