Beckham will play for Real Madrid on Sunday

The English player has had a yellow card cancelled, meaning he can play against Sevilla in the important league game

The Spanish authorities have cancelled a yellow card issued against David Beckham which means the Real Madrid player can take his place in the important league game against Sevilla in the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday.

Beckham was given the card during the match against Athletic, but following video evidence and the declaration of the Brazilian player Cicinho, the Competition Committee has cancelled it.

Sevilla complain that Real Madrid is being favoured by the Spanish Football Federation.

It’s of note how the Real Madrid manager, Fabio Capello, has gone from saying Beckham will never wear a Real Madrid shirt again, to counting on the player.
