Barcelona register Rashford and Garcia ahead of LaLiga opener

Barcelona have named new signings Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia in their matchday squad for their LaLiga opener amid fears of registration issues.

Hansi Flick’s side start their title defence on Saturday at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix as they take on Mallorca, and have been boosted by the inclusion of Rashford and Garcia.

Rashford joined the Blaugrana on a season-long loan from Manchester United, while Garcia is Barcelona’s new number one after completing a €25m switch from Espanyol.

Due to financial complications because of the LaLiga salary cap rules, both players were unsure whether they would be making their respective debuts for the LaLiga champions.

It is a similar issue that stopped Dani Olmo and Pau Victor from featuring for portions of last season, but they have since found a resolution to register Rashford and Garcia.
