The head coach of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, expressed hope that Pepe will be ready for the upcoming derby against Atletico Madrid, which is on February 27 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
'His condition is improving. I hope that on Tuesday he will be incorporated fully in our workouts. I can't say yet whether I will be able to use it against Atletico Madrid. Yet he is absent from the game for a long time and will surely need some time to get in top shape.', commented Zizou.
The last match of Real Madrid, in which Pepe participated was on January 25 in a 1:1 draw away to Betis.
The Portuguese defender missed the matches against Espanyol, Granada, Athletic Bilbao and Roma.
