The Barcelona team has come out with an irregular squad in the first game against Levante (1:2) from the 1/8-final of the King`s Cup, reports El Mundo. Choumy, the defender, was a tittle in the game, although he had to face a penalty for accumulated yellow cards received with the club`s double.

The newspaper cites Article 56. 3 of the Disciplinary Rules, according to which:until he has suffered his punishment with the team, he can not participate in matches of the first team. () The sanctioned footballer can not play for any of these teams or clubs until the penalties for the convictions defined by the category of offense expire. This specifically affects players playing in affiliates. In other cases, the accumulated yellow cards are valid for the race to which they refer.


This violation may result in the team being removed from the tournament. According to Article 76 of the Spanish Football Federation Disciplinary Code:A club that misappropriates a player against the statutory requirements in a match, the match in question is awarded as a 0-3 official loss. Chumi received the fifth yellow card in the Barcelona B match against Castellon on January 6th and suffered a penalty in the subsequent championship mentioned by ranking - nationsleaguepredictions.com match against Alcano, which was after the first team against Levante. However, according to the norms, the penalty must first expire and only then can play with the first team.


Barcelona is defended by Article 28, according to which light penalties are held in the same competition. El Mundo refers to his own legal sources claiming that the article in question applies to the right to play for two teams at the same time, but not for this case. What rescues Barcelona is that, according to the same Levante rules, they had 48 hours to file a complaint that did not happen. That is why the Federation is not taking any action at the moment. If a complaint is made today, the tournament judge will have to resolve the case quickly, since the match is back at 21:30 this evening.
