The site 'Foot Mercato' confirmed that the International Sports Court has demanded the Union of European Football Associations to open an official disciplinary investigation against Olympique Lyonnais, following a complaint from the Dutch club Utrecht due to the participation of player Rachid Ghezzal in the match between the two teams within the UEFA Europa League competitions.

The site explained that Olympique Lyonnais leads its group after five rounds and began its campaign with a 1-0 victory over Utrecht. However, the latter filed an official protest against the French team due to Ghezzal's participation, who played in the first two matches before UEFA discovered an administrative error regarding him.

The same source indicated that Ghezzal will not be eligible to participate in the Europa League before the knockout stages, where the club will be able to re-register him later. The Dutch club confirmed that the appeal to the Sports Court came after UEFA's decision not to open any disciplinary procedures, despite the player's violation of the applicable regulations.

The report confirmed that this step represents an official move to monitor the application of European regulations and ensure justice in continental competitions.
