The administrative headache that prevents Dani Olmo from playing

Dani Olmo, Barça’s big signing this summer, has yet to make his debut due to administrative complications. Although physically ready to play, as confirmed by coach Hansi Flick, Olmo’s participation depends on the approval of La Liga, linked to an unresolved agreement with Nike, according to the World Sports. Barça is trying to get that approval, but the chances seem slim. In Olmo’s absence, the team will rely on other players, while the importance of every point for the title race is already great.
