Real Madrid's second Cheryshev appeal dismissed

Los Blancos' second appeal against their Copa del Rey expulsion has been held up because TAD say they do not have all of the relevant files

Real Madrid has seen its second appeal against expulsion from the Copa del Rey for fielding an ineligible player held up by the Administrative Tribunal for Sport (TAD), which says it does not have all the relevant files to rule on the case.

Madrid was kicked out of the competition for playing Denis Cheryshev in the first-leg of its round-of-32 tie with Cadiz.

The Russian had been handed a suspension after picking up three bookings in last season's competition during his time at Villarreal, but he started against Cadiz and opened the scoring after three minutes as his side picked up a 3-1 win.
