EYE ON LA LIGA : Madrid to miss Pepe Real bad

Defence is Real Madrid’s major weakness even at full strength but now without Portuguese defender Pepe for rest of the season; their defensive dilemma won’t be any easier whatsoever. The hard tackling towering defender tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which will put out of action for six months, which subsequently rules him out the 2010 World Cup in South Africa for which Portugal managed to qualify thanks to a play-off victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina last month.
