Barcelona appeal to register Dani Olmo to play from January rejected

Barcelona's appeal to register Dani Olmo to play for the rest of the season has been rejected, which could mean the Spain international is unable to play for the club beyond January 1.

The 26-year-old joined Barca from RB Leipzig in August for a reported €60m (£51m), but the Catalan club could only register him for the first half of the season as they struggled to meet LaLiga's wage restrictions.
