Barcelona have been given temporary permission to register Dani Olmo after lodging an appeal, but the star was not even named on the bench for their Spanish Super Cup semi-final on Wednesday night. Barcelona have been granted a precautionary measure by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) which has allowed them to temporarily register both Olmo, a target for several Premier League sides, and Pau Victor.

Both players will be permitted to play in LaLiga again after facing several weeks of uncertainty. Olmo and Victor have been included in Barcelona's Super Cup squad despite being ineligible to play, but the pair were not named in the starting line-up or among the substitutes for their semi-final with Athletic Club.

Last week, Barcelona revealed their plans to file a complaint after both LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) rejected their latest attempt to re-register the duo, and they subsequently took the matter to court. The latest ruling, which will ease the pressure on president Joan Laporta after another tumultuous period.

Barcelona will be told they can register Dani Olmo, if only for the time being, after their appeal. Olmo, a target for several Premier League clubs, will be able to play again imminently. The decision will ease the pressure on Joan Laporta, the president of the Catalan giants.

El Larguero, via Cadena Ser, have reported that Barcelona have not ruled out the possibility of them playing in the final should they progress to that stage. The CSD's verdict also does not mean that Olmo and Victor will be eligible for the rest of the season. Instead, the ruling is a recognition that Barcelona's appeal, which was lodged in the form of a 52-page document, has a sound legal basis.
