Barcelona register Ilias Akhomach for Champions League - report

Barcelona have reportedly registered teenager Ilias Akhomach for the Champions League and the youngster could play against Bayern Munich.

Ilias was registered on Monday even though Barca knew he wouldn’t be able to play against Benfica due to suspension, according to Ara.

However, the move means that the 17-year-old could now play in Barca’s final group game at Bayern Munich on December 8.

It could be that Ilias is needed too. Barca will still be without Sergio Aguero and Martin Braithwaite, and it’s not clear if Ansu Fati will be fully fit in time for the crucial game.
