Dani Olmo will be able to play this Tuesday against the Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas. According to MD, LaLiga authorizes the blue and red club to register Dani Olmo due to the low which can be long-term Andreas Christensenas it recently did with Inigo Martinez Taking advantage of the low Ronald Araujo. Barça had already generated ‘fair play’ with the exits of Lenglet, Mika Faye and Vitor Roquebut not enough to be able to register Olmo, something that he will be able to do with the ‘fair play’ that is generated with the loss of Christensen.
From 2 to 4 months off
Since the medical report of the Barça on Christensen only detailing that “the time of return to training will be determined by his evolution”, it was surprising that the FC Barcelona be subject to this article, which is contemplated in LaLiga when a player is out for a long time.
Growth factor treatment
The key is that after examining the Dane, the Barcelona doctors have come to the conclusion that the treatment they are going to give him with growth factor may involve a period of absence of between two and four months. Being able to give the possibility of reaching those four months or more, this is what the club has argued and it has been validated by the LaLiga medical committee.
The medical committee, made up of traumatologists
A medical committee of the employers’ association made up of prestigious traumatologists who have analysed the medical tests submitted by Barça in their report and who have made the decision after analysing them in detail.
The LaLiga Medical Commission is made up of the Dr. Fernandez Jaenhe Dr. Baro Pazos and the Dr. Perez San Roqueall traumatologists specializing in sports medicine. There is a fourth member who on this occasion has abstained from participating in the ruling because he was a doctor at FC Barcelona years ago.
With this ruling from LaLiga on the injury of ChristensenBarça can complement the ‘fair play’ already generated with other operations with the one that leaves Christensen. However, if the centre-back returns to play before those four months, LaLiga will not withdraw the ‘fair play’ generated by this situation. The club believes that, if everything goes well, the two or three months of absence will not be taken away from the Dane. If things get complicated, it could go further because these treatments are painful and can sometimes cause reactions. The newspaper ARA has already explained that the absence of Christensen could be key to helping Araujo get registered.
The blue and red club repeats the mechanism using the same tool as LaLiga in long-term injuries. This is the Article 77 of the Regulations for the Preparation of Budgets, where it establishes that the “Cost Limit on Registrable Sports Squad or the registration capacity may be exceeded in a Season” and whose “registration is requested within 30 calendar days from the date of the player’s injury and that as a consequence of the same, a disability of equal or greater duration is foreseen from when it occurred”.
As it happened with Gavi y AraujoBarcelona can now use 80% of the Danish player’s cost to register the newly signed Spanish international from RB Leizpig. A registration that, according to the regulations themselves, has several conditions.
First, “the registration of a substitute player will not be allowed if the duration of his contract extends beyond the next season and the club does not have a balance of the Sports Squad Cost Limit or registration capacity for said season.”
In addition, the amount of the maximum excess “will be prorated in proportion to the duration remaining in the season from the registration of the player replacing the injured player.” In this case, for the entire 2024-2025 season. And this is what will happen with Dani Olmo which will initially be only for this next 2024-2025 campaign.
In addition, the Barcelona There is no reason to stop registering the Dane as long as he does not have all 25 first team cards covered as has happened with Araujo or last season with Gavi.
