Real Madrid's Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira: Returns from injury

Pepe (hamstring) was named in the 18-man squad for Saturday's match against Sporting Gijon, according to Marca.

Analysis:

Pepe's return comes in a perfect moment as Raphael Varane has been just ruled out for the game and Sergio Ramos will be facing a late fitness test. The former of the three will likely slot immediately back at center back alongside Nacho or Ramos.
