Osasuna has formally appealed to the RFEF, arguing that Barcelona improperly played defender Iñigo Martínez in their recent LaLiga match. Martínez had been sidelined from the Spain national team due to injury, and Osasuna claims he should not have participated in the club match within the five-day post-international period specified by FIFA regulations. Despite a decisive 3-0 victory for Barcelona that boosts their lead in LaLiga, the appeal raises significant questions regarding player eligibility based on medical absences and regulatory compliance. The situation has arisen amid a congested fixture schedule and recent changes due to tragic events impacting match timings.
Osasuna has appealed against Barcelona's use of Iñigo Martínez, citing FIFA regulations that state players who withdraw for medical reasons cannot participate in club matches for five days.
Barcelona's 3-0 win over Osasuna, which now sees them three points clear in LaLiga, has come into question due to allegations of violating player eligibility rules.
