The farcical situation surrounding the Spaniard and his re-registration raises questions for potential future signings

Dani Olmo will miss Barcelona's Champions League match against Benfica this Tuesday due to a strain in his right calf muscle.

Barcelona have lost Dani Olmo to injury after confirming the forward will miss the midweek trip to Benfica in the Champions League. Olmo has picked up a calf strain but is not expected to be out of action for too long for the Catalan giants.

Raphinha has said that players could question whether to join Barcelona in the future after Dani Olmo and Pau Victor were de-registered from their first-team squad. On January 4, Barcelona were planning to file a complaint to the Spanish government in their final attempt to register the two players after La Liga and the Spanish Federation (RFEF) refused to alter their stance on the registrations.

Barcelona are aiming to secure an automatic spot in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 as they head to Benfica on January 21. The Catalan giants require just one more win to reach the knockout stages with two games left to play in the new league format of the competition this season.
