Ronaldo match ban waived ready to face Eibar
Cristiano Ronaldo's availability will come as a big boost to Carlo
Ancelotti as he weighs up his options from a depleted Real Madrid squad
against Eibar.
Portuguese superstar Ronaldo was booked for simulation in Wednesday's 2-0 win at Rayo Vallecano and was due to be suspended for Saturday's clash at the Santiago Bernabeu as it marked his fifth booking of the season.
However, Real appealed against the decision and the Spanish Football Federation rescinded the yellow card on Friday.
Ronaldo now has the chance to continue his incredible form, which included a five-goal haul in the 9-1 battering of Granada last weekend and the opener in the Vallecano victory.
It also softens the blow from the absence of Gareth Bale (knock), who is being rested with one eye on Tuesday's UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie at rivals Atletico Madrid.
And with James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos (both suspended), Sami Khedira (back) and Fabio Coentrao (knee) all unavailable, Ancelotti will be delighted to have his talisman in contention.
