A decision on Real Madrid's Copa del Rey expulsion
will be made on December 28 once Cadiz have
supplied necessary documents.
A decision over Real Madrid's expulsion from the Copa del Rey
has been delayed until December 28 by the Administrative
Tribunal for Sport (TAD).
Madrid were initially expelled from the tournament after fielding
Denis Cheryshev - who had accrued a suspension due to three
yellow cards picked up while out on loan at Villarreal last
season - in the first leg of their last-32 tie with Cadiz.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected an appeal
from the 2014 winners and TAD stated last week that no final
decision over a second protest could be made as they did not
have all necessary documentation.
TAD was expected to reach a decision on Friday, but has
confirmed it is still waiting for Cadiz to supply the necessary
documents to support their argument for Madrid's expulsion.
"The TAD would like to state that the case could not be
addressed today [Friday] as Cadiz Football Club have not
presented their arguments in this regard, having given them until
December 23 in order to provide them," a statement read.
The case will be discussed at TAD's next scheduled meeting on
December 28.
Madrid president Florentino Perez maintains Cheryshev was
unaware of his suspension, making it invalid, and vowed to
continue to fight the sanction even if their latest appeal is
unsuccessful.
"The rules say [his suspension] is only effective if it's
communicated personally to the player," he told Cadena SER.
"We'll see what TAD says. Otherwise, we'll go to the
Contentious-Administrative courts."
