“I’m not going to judge Florentino,” the patron said after Villarreal’s 3-2 defeat to Huesca in their Copa last-32 first leg on Thursday.
“We’re only interested if any of our players are banned, not those of other teams.
“When we sign a player who was banned [before he arrived], we care about their situation before they play.
“Villarreal have nothing more to say. We have nothing to do with other clubs.

“Villarreal have nothing more to say. We have nothing to do with other clubs.
“[Tomas] Pina had a two-match ban and [Marcelino] didn’t play him. We didn’t need to be informed.
“I wish Cheryshev was at Villarreal this season, but he isn’t so we’re not responsible.”
Real Madrid expulsion from the Copa Del Rey was confirmed yesterday, after Spanish Football federation issued official statement on Friday.
According to the statement, Real Madrid had fielded an improper lineup in their 3-1 win over the Cadiz on Wednesday in the first leg of the Copa Del Rey.
Rafa Benitez handed Russian International handed Denis Cheryshev starting berth, while he was serving suspension after earning yellow cards in the same competition during his loan spell at Villarreal last season.
The Russian Winger scored the opening goal for Real Madrid, and was substituted at the half time when Rafa Benitez realized the mistake.
Competition judge Francisco Rubio said in his ruling, that Cheryshev was informed about his suspension in personal and also notified on his licence.
