"I am working very hard so that I can return as soon as possible." These are the words the go through Pepe's mind every day since 8 January when he began rehabilitating his right knee. Under the supervision of Sanitas Real Madrid doctors, the center back works out a combination of seven hours at home and at Valdebebas. The recovery process couldn't be going any better and Pepe and those around him are extremely optimistic about the results to date and those to come.
