More problems for Zinedine Zidane with Pepe injury vs Alaves

The defender hobbled off injured and Real Madrid could find themselves without either first-choice centre-back

In the 24th minute of the match between Alaves and Real Madrid, which finished 1-4, Zinedine Zidane was forced to make a change. Nacho came on for Pepe, who needed to be taken off because of injury.

The player left the pitch without assistance and now we have to wait for the official statement by the club to find out what his injury is and how severe it is. 

If Pepe is ruled out then it will mean trouble for Madrid who are already without centre-back Sergio Ramos, leaving Raphael Varane and Nacho as the only cover for that position.
