Real Madrid defender Pepe will undergo medical tests to determine the extent of his knee injury.
The Portugal center back will be examined Sunday amid fears he may have injured ligaments after being carried off the field on a stretcher in Madrid's 3-2 win over Valencia at Mestalla Stadium in the Spanish league on Saturday.
He landed awkwardly after an aerial challenge with Valencia striker David Villa in the 45th minute of the match.
Madrid is second in the standings with 34 points, five behind Barcelona, which has played a game more.
Pepe joined Madrid from FC Porto in 2007 for euro30 million ($41 million).
