Carlo Ancelotti: Pepe "fine" for Madrid derby

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Pepe will be available for Tuesday's night Champions League quarter-final clash against rivals Atletico Madrid.

The centre-back appeared to pick up an injury during yesterday's 3-0 win over Eibar at the Bernabeu.

However, when asked if he had any concerns over the 32-year-old's fitness, Ancelotti expressed his confidence that the defender will be "fine".

"He didn't have any problems in the dressing room. He got a knock, but he'll be fine for Tuesday," Ancelotti told the club's official website.

Pepe has only recently returned to action following a stint on the sidelines with a thigh complaint.
