Barcelona's Pedri denies Spain boycott over Dani Olmo fiasco

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has denied that the club's players considered boycotting the Spain national team over the row surrounding Dani Olmo's registration.

Olmo -- and fellow Barça player Pau Víctor -- were granted a temporary reprieve this week, while Spain's sports ministry the CSD considers Barcelona's appeal against the decision of LaLiga and the Spanish football federation to refuse their registration for the second half of the season.

Both players have now been re-registered while the CSD analyses the case, and are available for selection in Barcelona's Spanish Supercopa final against Real Madrid in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday.
