The Barcelona game against Osasuna postponed after a club
doctor died unexpectedly before kick-off on March 8 has been rescheduled for
March 27, the Spanish Football Association said on Monday, although the Catalan
club is reportedly unhappy with the decision.
The club said at the time that Carles Minarro, the
first-team doctor, "unexpectedly passed away" shortly before the home
game against Osasuna.
According to local media, Barcelona are considering an
appeal against the Thursday date which immediately follows the international
break.
They are reportedly arguing that some of their players, such
as Brazilian Raphinha and Uruguayan Ronald Araujo, are due to play with their
national teams in South America two days earlier and will not have time to
return to Barcelona.
Osasuna have a game at Athletic Bilbao scheduled for the
next night.
Barcelona are top of La Liga, ahead of Real Madrid on goal
difference and with a game in hand.
