Disaster ! Pepe, Sneider, And Miguel Torres Injuried !
The problems at Real Madrid mounted on Saturday after Wesley Sneijer, Pepe and Miguel Torres all suffered knocks to add to the growing injury list at the club during the defeat by Getafe.
Bernd Schuster had several players missing for his return to the Coliseum, but will now have to prepare to face Sevilla next weekend with a squad that has been further reduced.
Sneijder was stretchered off against Getafe clutching his left thigh and will now undergo tests to determine the extent of the problem, but he looks set to be out for the next game.
Ten minutes before half-time, Torres had to substituted for Michel Salgado, although the young full-back could well shake off the blow within the next week.
Pepe is less likely to recover after returning to the changing rooms after the game complaining of a pulled thigh muscle and he too will have an exam amid fears that it could be worse than it appears given his medical history.
Already on the sidelines are Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is out for the season, Gonzalo Higuaín, Fabio Cannavaro, Arjen Robben, Gabriel Heinze, Mahamadou Diarrà and Rubén De la Red.
