This Wednesday, the Higher Sports Council (CSD) approved the urgent precautionary measure requested by FC Barcelona and the players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. Both players, not on the list to face Athletic, will be able to play in the final of the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia if Barça beats Ernesto Valverde’s team. The CSD’s decision comes just over an hour before the competition starts in Jeddah with the first semi-final between Barcelona and Athletic.

Likewise, it maintains the validity of such licenses until this appeal is definitively resolved.
