Celta Vigo, Osasuna and La Liga
Thursday
Celta Vigo’s La Liga opener against Osasuna has been postponed after a fungal disease left the Balaidos pitch unfit for competitive football. The match, originally scheduled for Sunday, has been rearranged for Thursday, 27 August.
La Liga ordered the postponement following another pitch inspection after hot weather worsened the surface. Osasuna criticised the replacement date, saying both clubs preferred a September slot and accusing the league of poor foresight and professionalism.
