Osasuna unhappy after fungus outbreak on field postpones league opener vs Celta Vigo
MADRID: Celta Vigo postponed their La Liga opener against Osasuna because of a fungus outbreak on the field of their stadium Thursday.
La Liga said both clubs and the Spanish soccer federation agreed to the postponement of Sunday’s game because of an “illness that has affected the stadium’s pitch.”
Osasuna, though, later released a statement saying they did not agree with the new date set for the match, Aug. 27, as it went against their interests and voided “a previous agreement between both clubs.”
Osasuna said both clubs agreed to play on either Sept. 24 or Sept. 25, during the international break, which would not overload either team’s schedule and would allow for player recovery early in the season.
