Barcelona calm about Osasuna’s potential ‘ineligible lineup’ complaint over defender’s participation

Barcelona returned to action after the international break on Thursday night, securing a 3-0 victory over CA Osasuna in La Liga at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Goals from Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, and Robert Lewandowski ensured a straightforward victory for the Blaugrana, which sees them open up a lead over arch-rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table.

However, as reported after the game, Osasuna are considering contesting the 3-0 defeat against Barcelona with an ‘ineligible lineup’ complaint due to Inigo Martinez’s participation.

The Pamplona-based outfit believe that potential there may have been a violation of FIFA regulations regarding the timeframe that must elapse between a player’s withdrawal from international duty and their next club appearance.
