As the season approaches its end, Hansi Flick would be counting on all of the players in this FC Barcelona squad to be available to contribute to the team’s success.
However, there are two factors that can keep the German coach’s wish from being fulfilled. Firstly, most of the important Blaugrana players are playing a very high number of minutes, and the threat of fatigue and injury is ever-present.
Secondly, there is also the case of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor’s availability, as both of these players are playing only under a precautionary measure.
In fact, the deadline for CSD to give a ruling in this case, April 7th, is approaching, and the court is expected to pronounce its decision before this date. Furthermore, the President of CSD, Jose Manuel Uribes, also recently made it clear that a decision regarding these two players is imminent.
However, according to SPORT, despite the imminence of this decision, Barcelona are quite calm regarding this matter and are confident both these players will continue to play until the end of the season.
Firstly, they believe CSD will give a ruling in their favour, which will provide them significant and immediate relief.
But even if this is not the case, the Blaugranes have another plan that they believe will allow these players to keep playing till the end of the season.
With this plan, Barcelona will approach the ordinary justice system and ask for more precautionary measures while the judge resolves this case. It is highly likely that this request will be granted by the court, which will allow Olmo and Victor to remain registered till the end of the season.
In this regard, the Catalans already have some precedents that go in their favour. For instance, the Administrative Court allowed Robert Lewandowski to play in the game against Espanyol even though he was suspended for three games, as Barcelona had an appeal filed against this suspension.
