"The "Real" Defender Pepe Fell out of Line for a Month" © EuroFootball.com

Real Madrid's center back Pepe underwent surgery on his right foot and it was revealed that the Portuguese will miss the entire month of games.

The 29-year-old footballer traveled to his hometown, Porto, where he consulted with doctors. Pepe should recover in time for the UEFA Champions League match against Manchester United.

Real's head coach Jose Mourinho will have to make some adjustments, as another center back, Sergio Ramos, will also miss the next Spanish La Liga game due to yellow cards.

It is expected that the center back pairing for the upcoming match against Real Sociedad on Sunday will be the young Raphael Varane and veteran Ricardo Carvalho.
