Pepe: Injuries not an issue at Real

Real Madrid defender Pepe preferred not to dwell on his side’s injury list despite seeing the title hopefuls held to a disappointing goalless draw against Sporting Gijon.

Madrid went into last night’s clash without attacking quartet Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain and Ruud van Nistelrooy due to injuries and without them Manuel Pellegrini’s side failed to find the back of the net for the first time this season.
