Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor are the most notable absences from Hansi Flick’s squad for this Saturday’s Copa del Rey match in Barbastro. Without a record after Barça could not register them before the end of the year and waiting for their immediate future to be resolved, neither of the two has traveled to Huesca when in an ordinary scenario they would have been part of the Blaugrana expedition.
Raphinha will not be on the field this afternoon either. The German coach wanted to give the Brazilian a rest after so many minutes accumulated in the first part of the season. Ferran Torres is dropped from the list due to injury and Lamine Yamal is still unavailable.
Barça continues trying to unblock the situation with LaLiga and the Federation
The novelty in the call is the young Toni Fernández. Andreas Christensen, already with the file available on the LaLiga website, is not yet medically discharged and has also stayed at home. The Danish defender’s injury at the beginning of the season facilitated the temporary registration of Olmo and Víctor.
Barça is optimistic in the case of its two players and trusts that in the next few hours after LaLiga “once the review of the documentation sent by the club on the 30th and 31st has been completed”, it has granted them “rule 1 :1 of fair play financial”, although it has not yet authorized its registration. Both parties remain in contact trying to resolve the matter.

The Catalan club could not prove on the last day of the year the collection of part of the 100 million euros that it must receive for the transfer of the use of the VIP boxes of the new Spotify Camp Nou, something that it was able to do on Friday after receiving the international transfers of the two Middle Eastern investors who appear in the contracts.
If LaLiga and the Federation do not finally reconsider their position regarding Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, the club would have no choice but to appeal to the Sports Administrative Court (TAD) or ordinary justice to request the precautionary registration of both players.

Cubarsí, Balde, Araujo, Íñigo Martínez, Gavi, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Iñaki Peña, Pablo Torre, Fermín, Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong, Kounde, Eric Garcia, Szczesny, Astralaga, Gerard Martín, Sergi Domínguez and Toni Fernández .
