The match between Real Zaragoza and Sporting de Gijón, scheduled for Friday and postponed due to the flu outbreak suffered by the Asturian team, will be held next Tuesday, 7th at 9:00 p.m. By not reaching an agreement between the clubs, and after the deadline of 14.00 established by the Spanish Football Federation, the Competition Committee has been responsible for setting the final date.

Zaragoza and Sporting successfully negotiated the new date for the match dispute. The Aragonese club wanted to be played on Monday or Tuesday of next week, while Sporting intended to be delayed at least five or six days.

The Gijon club argued that still several of its players have symptoms of developing the flu process, which could manifest itself in the next few hours. In this regard, Sporting is expected to issue a new medical part in the next few hours.

Zaragoza wanted to play the game this Friday and tried to avoid the suspension, according to a statement on Thursday. The club asked the Federation that, from now on, when a similar circumstance occurs, it is an independent doctor of the clubs that assesses the health of sick players.
