Dani Olmo is set to make his competitive debut for FC Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano on August 27, following the temporary approval of his registration by La Liga. The approval comes in light of Andreas Christensen's long-term Achilles injury, which allows Barcelona to replace him under Article 77 of La Liga's regulations. Olmo, who rejoined Barcelona from RB Leipzig for €60 million, was unable to play in the first two league matches due to the club's financial struggles impacting player registration. The recent departures of players like Ilkay Gundogan and Clement Lenglet have alleviated some of Barcelona's wage bill concerns, facilitating Olmo's inclusion. Manager Hansi Flick expressed relief at the resolution of Olmo's registration issues, emphasizing the challenges posed by the club's financial situation. Olmo's availability adds depth to a midfield already missing key players like Frenkie de Jong and Gavi.
