Real Madrid's Pepe and Fabio Coentrao ruled out for two weeks

The Portuguese defenders both picked up muscular problems in the La Liga loss against Levante and will be out of action for two weeks.

Real Madrid has confirmed on its official website that defenders Pepe and Fabio Coentrao face a spell on the sidelines due to muscular problems.



"Pepe and Coentrao underwent medical tests on Monday to determine the extent of their injuries after the match in Valencia," a statement reads.



The duo picked up the injuries in Real Madrid's 1-0 La Liga loss against Levante on Sunday and will be out of action for around two weeks.



"These were the results; Pepe: fibrilar tear on the semi-membranosus muscle of the left leg. Coentrao: fibrilar tear on the soleus muscle of the left leg."



The Portugal international will consequently miss the Primera Division matches against Racing Santander (September 21) and Rayo Vallecano (Sept. 24) as well as the Champions League game at home against Ajax next week.



The pair could resume match action in the away match against Espanyol in early October.
