Jules Kounde is still not registered for Barcelona in LaLiga and will miss their trip to Real Sociedad on Sunday night.
The Catalan giants held off competition from Chelsea in order to secure the signing of Kounde from Sevilla last month, in a deal worth £46m.
However, Kounde is still not able to make his competitive debut for the club - with Xavi's side still yet to register him in their domestic league.
The Catalan giants activated their fourth and final financial lever to allow new signings Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen all to be registered for last weekend's stalemate draw with Rayo Vallecano.
