Pepe excited to be available for Real Madrid

Pepe is available again for Real Madrid this weekend against Tenerife.

The Portugal defender was suspended for ten games after a brain explosion against Getafe last season.

"It's in the past," said Pepe. "I look to the future and what I want now is to play again and help the team."

"The club has always supported me and it is for me to demonstrate on the ground the man, person and player that I really am. The hardest thing was not to play, to be away."

"Now I feel ready to play."
