Barcelona register six players ahead of La Liga opener

Barcelona have completed the registration of six players ahead of Saturday’s La Liga season opener against Rayo Vallecano, according to the league’s official website.

Summer signings Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie have all had their status approved, and the contract renewals for Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto also received La Liga’s green light in time for the first game of the new campaign.

The only new player not registered for Saturday’s game is center-back Jules Koundé, who wasn’t expected to be involved as he’s just coming back from groin surgery and has had limited playing and training time since arriving at the club two weeks ago.
