Real Madrid midfielder Valverde cleared to play after complaint over altercation dismissed

Valverde was accused of punching Villarreal's Baena after a match in April.
Baena filed a police complaint, but it was dismissed by a magistrates' court in July.
An investigating judge had proposed a 5-match ban for Valverde, but the Spanish FA decided not to sanction him.
The incident occurred after Villarreal's win at Real's stadium, reportedly over a comment about Valverde's wife.
Valverde is now cleared to play the new La Liga season after the complaint was dropped.
