Real Madrid's appeal over Copa dey Rey expulsion rejected

Real Madrid lost their appeal against their expulsion from the Copa De Rey. The Appeal Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected the club's appeal over their disqualification from the Copa del Rey for fielding the ineligible, Denis Cheryshev.

Real Madrid appealed the expulsion stating that they had not been notified of Cheryshev's suspension and were therefore not to blame for the error. The Appeal Committee however upheld the original ruling and confirmed the news via a statement today.
