Barcelona at Risk of Copa del Rey Disqualification After Fielding Banned Player Chumi

Barcelona are reportedly at risk of being kicked out of the Copa del Rey as it has been reported that one of their players who featured against Levante last week should have been suspended.

Juan Brandáriz, who is more commonly known as Chumi, played close to one hour during Levante's shock win over Barcelona, but it has since been revealed that he was under a suspension with Barça B at the time.

Because of this, El Mundo reports that Barcelona could be kicked out of the competition altogether due to Chumi's accumulation of yellow cards with their second team, the most recent of which came against Castellón.
