Fungal infection threatens Celta Vigo's opening La Liga match
A fungal infection in Celta Vigo's stadium has raised concerns about the possibility of canceling the opening La Liga match against Osasuna. According to a press report, the state of the pitch is not suitable for the match, which has led to the Celta Vigo's request to postpone the match.
Why is it important for Celta Vigo?
Postponing the match could have been beneficial for Celta Vigo, especially considering that the team has the return of Borja Iglesias, who won the World Cup with the Spanish national team. However, the Celta Vigo's board of directors decided not to postpone the match to avoid a backlog of matches in the coming weeks.
What comes next?
The situation is in a stage of negotiation between the boards of both clubs. Osasuna is willing to play the match, while Celta Vigo insists on the need to postpone the match due to the fungal infection in the stadium.
Celta Vigo's board has communicated to Osasuna and LaLiga that the state of the pitch is not suitable for the match. Postponing the match could have significant implications for Celta Vigo's season, especially considering that the team is in a delicate position in the league table.
