How death of medical staff led to postponement of Barcelona vs Osasuna
The match between FC Barcelona and Osasuna was postponed just minutes before kick-off after the death of a member of Barcelona’s medical staff.
Why was the Barcelona vs Osasuna match postponed?
Ahead of the game, it was reported that someone close to the Barcelona squad had passed away, which led the players to request the match be called off. Spanish broadcaster DAZN later confirmed that the person who passed away was a member of Barcelona’s first-team medical staff.
Barcelona’s statement:
FC Barcelona expressed their deep sadness, announcing that first-team doctor Carles Miñarro García had passed away. The club stated that the match against Osasuna had been postponed in light of this sad news. Reports suggest that Dr. Miñarro passed away in his sleep, with no prior reports of illness.
The FC Barcelona Board of Directors and staff extended their heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time.
When will the Barcelona vs Osasuna game be played?
Both Osasuna and La Liga also released statements, confirming that a new date for the match will be arranged soon. However, at the time of writing, no specific date has been set. According to the rules, since the match was suspended for force majeure under Article 262, a judge will decide when the game will be rescheduled.
