RFEF Rejects Barcelona, Osasuna Rescheduling Appeal

Barcelona and Osasuna's appeals to reschedule their LaLiga match, originally postponed due to the death of Barcelona’s doctor Carles Minarro Garcia, have been rejected by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The match will now proceed on March 27, despite both clubs' concerns over player availability due to the proximity to international fixtures. Barcelona will be without key players Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, who are committed to international duties with Brazil and Uruguay, respectively. The RFEF emphasized that league integrity requires rescheduling to the earliest available date, even though both teams suggested alternatives. This decision impacts both teams' preparations as they navigate a congested schedule, with Barcelona leading LaLiga and competing in multiple tournaments.
