Real Madrid defender Pepe could miss his side's encounter with Real Zaragoza due to a muscular problem...
A muscle strain may keep Pepe (pictured) out of action against Real Zaragoza at the weekend.
The Real Madrid stopper is also suffering the after-effects of a bout of 'flu, with these issues potentially rendering him absent as the Romareda side visit the capital.
Problems arise in defence due to the continued absence of Christoph Metzelder, who would normally be considered an able deputy for the Portuguese player. Thus, it may be Gabriel Heinze - himself on the mend after injury - who steps in at centre-back.
Despite his knock, the Argentine completed a practice match in front of 500 fans at Valdebebas on Thursday, and as such he's expected to fully recover in time for Sunday's match.
There will be another open training session on Friday morning at 11:00 local time.
