Barcelona has received word from FIFA with regard to the possibility of registering Arda Turan before January.
Barcelona has called for clarity from FIFA after world football's governing body appeared to refuse permission to register Arda Turan in light of Rafinha's injury.
Turan joined Barca from Atletico Madrid during the offseason, although the Spanish and European champion is under a transfer ban for breaching rules relating to registering youth players.
Under the sanctions, the club is not allowed to field Turan until Jan. 4, but Barca approached FIFA and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) after Rafinha suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury last week, ruling him out for several months.
