LaLiga: Osasuna submit appeal over ineligible Barcelona player in 3-0 defeat

Osasuna filed an appeal with the Spanish Football Federation, claiming Barcelona fielded Iñigo Martínez illegally due to an injury-related absence from the Spanish national team.
According to Osasuna, FIFA regulations state that a player who withdraws from international duty for medical reasons cannot participate in club matches for five days following the international period.
Barcelona has not formally responded but is confident regarding the situation, claiming the Spanish Federation released Martínez based on a medical report they submitted.
Osasuna's statement indicates that the participation of Iñigo Martínez in the match violated FIFA regulations, which may lead to the match being forfeited by Barcelona if the appeal is upheld.
