Barcelona have included Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor in their squad for this week’s Spanish Super Cup, with the team traveling to Saudi Arabia on Monday night. However, it is unlikely that the Blaugrana will be able to use any of them.
Neither are currently registered with the club, and after La Liga rejected Barcelona’s license application, neither will be able to play the rest of the season.
