Barcelona players, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, can play for the club on a temporary basis after the Spanish sports council (CSD) granted the Catalans precautionary permission on Wednesday.
The financially struggling side failed to register the duo before the deadline at the end of last year after Olmo and Victor were given temporary licenses when they joined in the summer.
The CSD decided Olmo and Victor could be selected by Barca until they make a definitive ruling in the club’s case against La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), who did not let the club renew their registrations.
“This measure, which is provisional until the appeal filed by the club and the aforementioned players is finally resolved, suspends (La Liga and RFEF’s decision), and the cancellation of the sports licenses of the aforementioned players,” said the CSD in a statement.
“It also maintains the validity of said licenses until this appeal is finally resolved.”
Olmo and Victor are set to miss Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup semi-final clash in Saudi Arabia with Athletic Bilbao later on Wednesday.
The pair would be eligible to play in a potential final on Sunday should they qualify, and in Barcelona’s matches after that, until the CSD reach a final ruling.
