Cadiz to report Real Madrid over Cheryshev selection

Cadiz will report Real Madrid to the Royal Spanish Football Federation for the selection of Denis Cheryshev in Wednesday's Copa del Rey tie.

Cadiz president Manuel Vizcaino has confirmed that the Segunda Division B club will report Real Madrid to the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) over the club's selection of Denis Cheryshev in Wednesday's Copa del Rey tie.

Rafael Benitez's side won the first leg of the last-32 tie 3-1, with Cheryshev opening the scoring, but reports broke during the match that the Russian midfielder should have been serving a one-match suspension.

He collected three bookings while on loan at Villarreal during last season's competition, including one in the second leg of a semifinal defeat against Barcelona.
