Real Madrid could be expelled from the Copa Del Rey
competition for fielding an ineligible player during their clash with Cadiz
last night. The 24-year-old player Denis Cheryshev who scored the opening goal
of the game was on loan at
Villarreal last season, and
earned three yellow cards and a one-match suspension. He wasn’t meant to be on Real’s
line up because he is still serving a ban.
Although the Russia international was substituted few
seconds into the second half, Cadiz
President Vizcaíno has announced that they will report Real Madrid's illicit
line-up. The
Blancos if found guilty, might be expelled from the competition. Osasuna were
expelled from the Copa Del Rey for a similar offence in September.
Real Madrid manager, Rafael Benitez has however denied
knowledge of the suspension.
"Of course the club knew nothing. We were not informed
by either Villarreal or the Royal Spanish Football Federation and when we were
notified, we took him off to show good faith," He wrote on Real's official
website.
