Judge of the Royal Spanish Football Federation made a decision according to which there is no reason to postpone the match. The decision emphasizes that the club has the right to register up to 25 players, but now there are only 23 players in the Real Madrid application. At the same time, the club did not deliberately use two available places to replenish the warehouse.
According to the judge, the presence of 23 players in the team allows the requirements of the competitive calendar, even given the need to control the load, rest of the players and minimize the risks of injury.
Thus, Real Madrid will have to start the season in the league unchanged in the schedule, despite international responsibilities.
Earlier it was reported that Real Madrid signed Carreras.
