Dani Olmo and Pau Victor Set to Miss Spanish Supercup
Barcelona’s Squad Update for Spanish Supercup
Barcelona has named Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in their squad for the Spanish Supercup, with the team heading to Saudi Arabia. However, due to registration issues, they may not be able to play in the tournament.
Registration Challenges for Olmo and Victor
Both players are not currently registered with the club, and La Liga has rejected Barcelona’s request for licenses. The club is optimistic about obtaining an injunction to overturn this decision, but the chances of them featuring in the Supercup are slim.
Emergency Injunction Request
Barcelona has submitted an emergency injunction request to the Ministry of Sport, which could take up to 15 days for a response. If granted, Olmo and Victor could potentially play in the Supercup final, providing a much-needed boost to the team’s resources.
Decision Pending from CSD
The CSD will determine whether the missed deadline for guarantees qualifies as force majeure to reverse La Liga’s decision. Barcelona will argue that the rule’s spirit does not apply in this case, based on indications from the RFEF.
Impact on Barcelona’s Squad
With a crucial semi-final against Athletic Club looming, Barcelona’s squad is already stretched thin. The absence of Victor and Olmo could be a significant blow, highlighting the importance of resolving their registration issues for the rest of the season.
