Official statements from the Spanish FA (RFEF) and the club were due later on Friday once the competition committee completed its daily cases, but Real Madrid are now expected to ask the Spanish government to overturn the decision.
Cheryshev, usually on the fringes of the Madrid first team, started against the third-tier side and scored his team’s opener, but during the game it emerged that he was suspended having been booked three times in the competition when on loan at Villarreal last term.
After the game Cadiz decided to officially appeal to the RFEF — and on Friday morning the governing body’s ruling judge and legal expert Francisco Rubio followed procedure and rejected both defences presented by Real Madrid.
Blancos president Florentino Perez said on Thursday that he did not accept his club were responsible, as nobody had informed them that Cheryshev was banned, and said he intended to appeal any punishment to the Spanish sports ministry’s Administrative Court for Sport.
He had earlier argued that the punishment
would have been made null after the first three rounds of the Copa.
Cheryshev’s one-match ban was published online by the RFEF in March, and all Spanish clubs were supposed to receive a document outlining all punishments rolling over into the new season last August.
Perez has denied Madrid received this
document. Perez appeared to signal both Cheryshev himself and Villarreal as responsible for not having notified Madrid of the ban.
Asked about this by Marca, Villarreal president Fernando Roig said: “I am not going to judge
Florentino.
“We have people who keep an eye on our suspensions, not those of others. If we signed a player who had a ban, we would look at his situation before he played.
Villarreal have nothing else to say. What other clubs do is not our concern.”
A Madrid fan has told AS that he tried to warn the club that Cheryshev could not play against Cadiz, but was politely told not to worry.
A supporter is reportedly planning to bring a legal case against Perez personally for the loss of club revenue due to the fact there will be no more Copa games this season.
