I thought the cap worked by taking the 20 highest earners from the squad.
Even if Gale doesn't play he'll still be on the payroll so perhaps this is why a dispensation is needed?

My understanding is that the dispensation is needed because it’s a “live” salary cap, so some of his salary has already counted towards this season. It was the same with Sandow and Segayaro when they walked away from their respective clubs (quite rightly too).
The dispensation would be to discount his salary for the 2019 season, which of course has already started in terms of the salary cap. As above though, it should mean he can’t play at the end of the year if he recovers (unless it still keeps Cas under the live cap).
