Portugal international Pepe broke his arm in the 1-0 quarter-final defeat by Morocco. The 39-year-old defender was diagnosed with an ulna fracture in his left arm, the Portuguese association announced late Saturday evening. Pepe was taken to a hospital after the World Cup with Portugal, where the suspicion of a broken arm was confirmed.
Fifa initiates proceedings
After the heated quarter-finals, Fifa’s disciplinary committee has initiated proceedings against the Argentine and Dutch federations. The South Americans are accused of possible violations of Article 12, Misconduct by Players and Coaches, and Article 16, Order and Safety at Games. The Dutch are only concerned with possible misconduct by players and supervisors. The game was decided on Friday in the Lusail Stadium with 4:3 for the Argentines in a penalty shootout. The game was also in the spotlight because of the record spate of yellow cards, and there were tumultuous scenes of verbal and physical attacks.
