Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo Travels To La Coruna Despite Ban In Hope Over Second Appeal
The RFEF (Spanish Football Federation) has decided to uphold Cristiano Ronaldo's two-match ban for the elbow he threw in last weekend's match against Malaga, but the Portuguese and los Blancos have retained hope that a second appeal to the CEDD (Spanish Committee of Sporting Disclipine) will see the ban struck out.

Los Blancos will continue to argue their case today, and the committee will hand down its decision later on Friday. In the meantime, Ronaldo has been included in the squad list and travelled with Madrid to La Coruna in the hope that a favourable decision will allow him to take the pitch against Deportivo on Saturday.
