Chile suspend play after club appeal relegation

Teams are only allowed five foreign players on the pitch at a time but Rangers fielded six earlier this month leading to a three point penalty that dropped them into the automatic relegation positions.

A court in the city of Talca, where Rangers are based, ordered the suspension of the promotion/relegation play-offs that the team would have played had they not had the points docked.

"We are communicating the fact and asking FIFA to apply the sanctions it deems appropriate according to its statutes," ANFP general manager Carlos Morales told Bio Bio radio.
