The reduction of center defender Nacho Fernandez’s three-game suspension to two games by the Spanish Football Federation’s Appeals Committee has helped Real Madrid.
Nacho will be eligible for the first “Clasico” of the season, which will be played away at FC Barcelona, despite missing this weekend’s game against Sevilla as a result of the decision, according to Xinhua.
Eder Militao’s season-long absence due to a knee injury is excellent news for Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is already missing David Alaba due to a groin ailment that kept him out before the international break.
