Real Madrid appeals Konaté's yellow card to keep him available for El Clásico

Real Madrid has appealed the yellow card Konaté received against Villarreal to keep the defender eligible for El Clásico against Barcelona on October 25.

• Real Madrid has appealed the yellow card Konaté received in the 1–0 win over Villarreal, saying replays show no contact with Gerard Moreno.
• Referee Isidro Díaz de Mera booked Konaté after ruling he struck Moreno in the face during a late challenge.
• Another yellow card against Sevilla would suspend Konaté for the October 25 El Clásico.
• Vinícius Júnior also risks missing El Clásico after being sent off against Villarreal, with his suspension length pending.
