According to sources, Dani Olmo will finally play for Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday after LaLiga approves his temporary registration.

Olmo, a €55 million ($61m) arrival from RB Leipzig, has missed Barça’s first two matches of the season because his registration has not been processed with LaLiga due to the club’s continued financial woes.

According to sources who spoke with ESPN on Monday, it seemed unclear that he would be available to play against Rayo as well. However, Andreas Christensen’s long-term injury will open up salary space for other players to be signed.

Article 77 of LaLiga’s Regulations for the Preparation of Budgets allows clubs to exceed their spending limit in the event a player in the squad is ruled out for a substantial period of time.

Barça have sent medical reports to LaLiga detailing that an Achilles problem will sideline Christensen for up to four months, allowing them to use 80% of the Danish centre-back’s salary towards registering another player in the meantime.

Sources have confirmed that this gives Barça enough room to register Olmo before Tuesday’s game, although the final paperwork still needs to be cleared.
