MADRID, Spain — Real Madrid defender Pepe has been released from hospital after spending the night under observation for a head injury sustained during Sunday’s 1-1 home draw with Valencia.
Madrid club doctors said Monday Pepe is fine after a collision with teammate Iker Casillas forced him to leave the game with a small cut on his head.
Madrid visits Barcelona on Thursday in the first leg of the Spanish Supercup. It is doubtful whether Pepe will play.
