Real Madrid CF centre-back Pepe has been banned for ten matches by the competition committee of the Spanish Football Federation following his red card against Getafe CF on Tuesday night.

Lengthy ban
The Portuguese international defender was dismissed three minutes from time at the Santiago Bernabéu following an incident involving Francisco Javier Casquero and Juan Ángel Albín, although his side subsequently went on to win the Liga match 3-2. The 26-year-old will miss Madrid's final six league matches of the current campaign – including Sunday's trip to third-placed Sevilla FC and the home game against Liga leaders FC Barcelona next weekend – and is also set to sit out the first four domestic games of 2009/10.
