Granada fielded ineligible line-up versus Real Sociedad

Granada have been hit hard by the virus. They only had seven first team players for the game, but the club ended up with just four. 

LaLiga's rules are clear. There has to be at least five first team players on the pitch at all times. That did not happen for part of the fixture. 

In the 76th inute, Jorge Molina was replaced by academy player Alvaro Bravo. They only had four first team players on the pitch: Nehuen Perez, Eteki, Luis Suarez and Darwin Machis. 

Now Real Sociedad will have to decide whether to report Granada for an ineligible line up or not. 

Granada only travelled to San Sebastian with seven first team footballers as they had 10 cases of coronavirus at the club. The Andalusians asked for the fixture to be postponed, but LaLiga and the Spanish FA rejected it.
