Real Madrid's Portuguese center-back Pepe will be out of action for two weeks because of a thigh injury.
The club said on its website Wednesday night that the 32-year-old player sustained a strained muscle injury in his right thigh.
Pepe was obliged to leave the field after being injured in the "El Clasico" against bitter rivals Barcelona on March 22.
Pepe was unable to play for Portugal against Serbia on March 29 and Cape Verde Islands on March 31.
