The much-anticipated match between Barcelona and Osasuna, originally scheduled for March 8, has been rescheduled to March 27 following the unexpected passing of first-team doctor Carles Minarro. This decision was announced by the Spanish Football Association.
Barcelona is reportedly dissatisfied with the new date, which falls immediately after the international break. The club is exploring the possibility of an appeal, citing concerns that key players, including Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, will be unable to return from international duty in South America in time for the match.
Osasuna is set to face Athletic Bilbao the night after the newly scheduled game, adding to the complexity of the situation. Currently, Barcelona leads La Liga, holding a narrow advantage over Real Madrid on goal difference, along with a game in hand.
