Levante slams LaLiga's fixtures as unfair to the club

Levante has lashed out at LaLiga's scheduling after learning its Matchday 14 fixture: a home game against Racing Santander on Friday 27 November, just four days after hosting Elche on Monday 23. The club voiced its anger in an official statement, as reported by MARCA. According to the club's data, 21.4% of its matches in the first 14 rounds will be played with 96 hours or less of rest, and in October and November the figure rises to 37.5%, the lowest among teams without European football. Levante is also the only club in the league with a Monday and a Friday fixture in the same week, something that already happened in October and is now repeating. The club warns that this congestion raises the risk of injuries, which it has already seen in recent weeks, and has passed its complaint to LaLiga president Javier Tebas, demanding «the same respect and the same conditions as the rest of clubs».
