The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation Rafael Louzan has stated that they may challenge Barcelona's court order regarding the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. The Barcelona pair were initially unregistered and would not have been able to play for the remainder of the season.
Barcelona will argue that the rules in this case should not apply to them, and have obtained an emergency injunction from the Ministry of Sport for the duration of the case, so that neither Olmo nor Victor are unnecessarily harmed by the case. If the CSD committee decides against Barcelona, they could again be on the sidelines for the last two months of the season.
Speaking to Cadena Cope, Louzan explained that the RFEF could challenge that order, while La Liga says they will challenge the ruling.
“The RFEF legal services themselves are evaluating it, obviously a lot has already been said about it and we have already celebrated a Super Cup and now it is time to talk about other things. There are still three months to go, the CSD will have to present some information and we will talk from there.”
La Liga have said they will challenge the ruling, but on Tuesday Barcelona president Joan Laporta claimed he was unaware the case had been challenged in court. Laporta seemed confident that Barcelona had submitted all the necessary documentation on time, but if the emergency order is lifted, Olmo and Victor will be back on the sidelines.
