Barcelona's 3-0 win over Osasuna in La Liga is being contested by Osasuna, who have launched an appeal to the Royal Spanish Football Federation claiming Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez was ineligible to play due to Fifa regulations. Martinez missed Spain's international call-up due to a knee injury, and according to the rules, a player cannot play for his club within five days if he has not joined up with his country when called up. Martinez played the full 90 minutes against Osasuna, four days after Spain's Nations League match with the Netherlands. Osasuna believes that Martinez was not eligible to play in the match and has filed an appeal for improper fielding.
