Zanetti's example is different. If someone retires then they are not getting called up. Even if they did the excuse would be retirement and not injury. You can be retired from the NT and active for the club Denco. The whole point of this rule is to ensure that if a player skips out on teh NT due to injury that he is actually injured. He demonstrates that by being injured in either the previous or successive league game.
The punishment for fielding an illegal player is a 3-0 loss.
You are only debating this because you want to go against certain people at all costs.

I still think it is a stupid rule on too many levels.
Take vargas eg he went to peru and was not picked by the manager so how is that Catania;s fault.
I think catania are just using that as an excuse.
As for Semioli I dont see how the rules can say because he missed the previous game then he is excused as he played for Fiorentina.
If Fiorentina were punished then I can see Catania's point but they were rightfully not punished as if Semioli was really injured against Milan then Donadoni should not have called him up.
