Barcelona says it will be able to register newly signed goalkeeper Joan García for the new season after the Spanish league confirmed a long-term injury to Marc-André ter Stegen.

Barcelona announced Wednesday the long-term injury validation of goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen by the Spanish league, meaning the club can register new signing Joan Garcia without breaking financial fair play rules.

Barcelona goalkeeper Joan García will be available for Saturday's league opener against Mallorca after LaLiga granted the club permission to use salary space allocated for the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
