LaLiga's Medical Committee has officially approved FC Barcelona's request to classify goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen's injury as a long-term absence under current regulations. This approval enables Barcelona to register their new goalkeeper, Joan García, for the 2025/2026 season. The decision came after LaLiga received the medical report on Ter Stegen and conducted a review, with the final ruling announced on August 13, 2025. Barcelona confirmed they would immediately proceed with García's registration following the committee's ruling. Despite this progress, other summer signings Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji have yet to be registered as the league's opening match approaches.
