The farcical situation surrounding the Spaniard and his re-registration raises questions for potential future signings

Dani Olmo will miss Barcelona's Champions League match against Benfica this Tuesday due to a strain in his right calf muscle.

Spain’s government has stepped to provisionally allow midfielder Dani Olmo and forward Pau Víctor to continue playing for Barcelona following the Spanish league’s refusal to do so.

Raphinha has said that players could question whether to join Barcelona in the future after Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were de-registered from their first-team squad. On January 4, Barcelona were planning to file a complaint to the Spanish government in their final attempt to register the two players after La Liga and the Spanish Federation (RFEF) refused to alter their stance on the registrations.

Barcelona have lost Dani Olmo to injury after confirming the forward will miss the midweek trip to Benfica in the Champions League. Olmo has picked up a calf strain but is not expected to be out of action for too long for the Catalan giants.

Dani Olmo has suffered a calf injury that Barcelona say will rule him out of Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Benfica. The Spain international, 26, was introduced from the bench in the 1-1 draw at Getafe in La Liga on Saturday evening and played the final 28 minutes in place of Gavi.
