Real Madrid confirm Pepe has broken ribs

Real Madrid have confirmed that defender Pepe, who scored in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, has broken two of his ribs.

The Portugal international scored his side's only goal of the game with a header, before Antoine Griezmann equalised late on.

But after a nasty collision with Toni Kroos he struggled to continue, and was eventually forced off in the 67th minute with Nacho replacing him.

After undergoing medical tests, Madrid later confirmed a double rib break.
