Madrid, Spain (My Sportsbook) - Real Madrid's injury crisis shows no sign of easing after it was revealed that Pepe faces up to four weeks on the sidelines. The Portugal international picked up a thigh injury in Saturday's defeat to Getafe and tests on Monday confirmed that he will be out of action for between three and four weeks. The central defender is expected to miss the league matches against Sevilla, Barcelona and Valencia as well as next week's Champions League clash with Zenit St. Petersburg. Wesley Sneijder and Miguel Torres also sustained injuries during the 3-1 defeat to Getafe and join Ruud van Nistelrooy, Gonzalo Higuain, Arjen Robben, Mahamadou Diarra, Fabio Cannavaro, Ruben de la Red and Gabriel Heinze in the treatment room.
