Real Madrid defender Pepe has been banned for 10 matches following his sending-off against Getafe.

The Portugal international received a red card for kicking out at Javier Casquero in the 3-2 win at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.

Pepe brought down Casquero in the penalty area before stamping and kicking him on the floor.

The 26-year-old then clashed with Juan Angel Albin in the melee that followed the incident

He will now miss Real's remaining six games of the season, including next week's home match against leaders Barcelona, after the ruling by the disciplinary committee of the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF).
