Barcelona registers winger Jesse Bisiwu for La Liga and Champions League play

Barcelona secured administrative approval from La Liga to register 18-year-old winger Jesse Bisiwu for the senior squad. The Belgian player, who joined the club this summer, was previously sidelined from official competition due to bureaucratic hurdles. While Bisiwu has participated in reserve team friendlies and pre-season matches, including a two-goal performance against Basel, this registration clears the final obstacle for his competitive debut. Manager Hansi Flick now has the authority to include the winger in his matchday rosters, starting with next weekend's fixtures. Additionally, Barcelona added Bisiwu to their Champions League List A squad, assigning him the number 27 jersey for European competition. The club continues to process his availability for upcoming matches across both domestic and international tournaments.
