La Liga relegation favorites Elche have filed an official complaint to the Spanish Federation requesting Barcelona to forfeit their 4-0 win in their clash last weekend due to the inclusion of Gavi, which according to Elche is in violation of the Federation’s rules. The complaint was filed just three minutes before the deadline on Tuesday.
Gavi was initially granted first team status by a Catalan court in late January, but a second court reversed the decision claiming that Barça didn’t present the case in a timely manner, which forced the young midfielder to retain his Under-19 status and change his squad number back to #30.
