Real Madrid's Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira: Could return to contention against Atletico

Pepe could be in contention to play Saturday against Atletico Madrid as he nears a recovery from a hamstring injury, Marca reports.

Analysis:

Pepe has missed a little over two weeks after injuring his hamstring against Alaves, but he could make a slightly early return after using the international break to get healthy. He could start the derby match if he is deemed fit enough to play a large role.
