Barcelona risk losing the game against Osasuna even after winning 3-0 on Thursday. The issue, they say in Spain, is the improper use of Iñigo Martínez, who was dismissed by the Spanish national team due to injury, which is the reason for the controversy.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Basque player could not play before the legal deadline set by FIFA, which states that “a player who claims injury or illness as a reason for not joining the national team cannot play within five days of the end of the international break.”
According to this rule, the Culés central defender would not be able to play until next Monday, as the international break ended on Tuesday.
However, according to the same source, this would only be the case if the Spanish federation had objected to Iñigo Martínez's absence from La Roja, and it has yet to be clarified whether or not this was the case.
