MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid's decision to name suspended defender Nacho for their squad for the crucial trip to Celta Vigo on Wednesday has been vindicated after the Spanish football association's appeals committee overturned his ban.

Nacho, who scored with a quick free kick in Real's 4-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday, was booked in the 80th minute for arguing with Joaquin Correa, earning a suspension for completing a cycle of five yellow cards, but is now free to face Celta.
