RFEF president Alfredo Florez has indicated that the federation will rule on Pepe’s stamp on Lionel Messi on Wednesday.
The federation’s Competition Committee convened on Monday to analyse the reports of the referees who officiated the first-leg matches of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.
As the referee failed to see Pepe’s action, the incident was not included in the report, with the RFEF only confirming the Portuguese defender’s 16th-minute booking for a foul on Sergio Busquets via a statement.
With Florez announcing that the incident will be addressed on Wednesday, this means that Pepe may still be punished ahead of Wednesday’s Clasico at Camp Nou.
The Portugal international, who was replaced in the 80th minute of the 2-1 defeat to Barca, did not make the squad for Sunday’s 4-1 victory against Athletic Bilbao.
