Pepe cleared to return home after head injury





Via ESPNFC-Real Madrid defender Pepe was cleared to return home Monday after spending the night under observation in a hospital because of a head injury suffered in a match against Valencia.

The Portugal international clashed heads with teammate Iker Casillas Sunday night in Real Madrid's La Liga opener and had to be replaced at halftime before being taken to hospital.

"He has spent the night under observation and everything is fine and we've decided, under the control of the Real Madrid medical team, that the player can be discharged from hospital without any problem," doctor Carlos Diez said, according to Real Madrid's website.

It is unclear if Pepe will be fit to play for Madrid in Thursday night's Spanish Supercopa first leg against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.
