Denis Cheryshev received a suspension after being shown three yellow cards in last season’s competition while playing for Villarreal.As Villarreal lost the semi-final tie to Barcelona in which he received his final booking, that ban has not yet been served.
Rafael Benitez had him playing against Cadiz yesterday and he even scored the opening goal.
Whoops.
The penalty is that Real Madrid could find themselves disqualified from the rest of the tournament even though they eventually beat Cadiz 3 -1 yesterday.
