Spain’s National Sports Council (CSD) has ruled in favor of La Liga and postponed two of this weekend’s matches in the Spanish top flight.

This is due to the conflict with CONMEBOL, as several South American players were called up to play in this international break and would only arrive back to Spain just before these games were set to take place.

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) understood that this was not a cause of force majeure 0to postpone the match, which forced Laliga to appeal to the CSD to meet their request.

In Sevilla’s case, the players affected are the Argentinian trio Gonzalo Montiel, Papu Gomez, and Marcos Acuna.

The Spanish government has granted the precautionary measures requested by La Liga president Javier Tebas last Friday after the RFEF did not want to postpone the matches.

However, they have allowed time for the RFEF to make the arguments they deem appropriate and give the clubs time to make their sporting arrangements.
