Osasuna suffers a setback with Abel Bretones' ban, which will be upheld for two games. The RFEF Appeals Committee dismissed the Navarran club's allegations.

What happened?

The RFEF Appeals Committee has dismissed Osasuna's allegations and upheld the two-game ban for Abel Bretones following his expulsion last Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Why is it important for Osasuna?

Abel Bretones' ban is a blow to Osasuna, which is already in a complicated situation in the standings. The Navarran club only has the option of the TAD to try to reverse the ban.

What's next?

Osasuna will have to face the next two games without Abel Bretones, which can be a problem for the team. The home debut this weekend against Valencia and the visit to Espanyol on August 31 will be the first challenges for the Navarran club without its banned player.
