  • Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during training.
  • The 20-year-old Swedish international will require surgery, effectively ending his season.
  • The injury halts any potential transfer or loan move for the player, who was not in coach Hansi Flick's plans for the upcoming season.

Barcelona's promising winger, Roony Bardghji, faces a significant setback after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session. The club's medical services confirmed the injury on Tuesday, stating the 20-year-old Swedish international will need to undergo surgery.

This devastating blow comes just as the player was reportedly not part of coach Hansi Flick's plans for the next season, with the club actively seeking to move him on. Bardghji had already been excluded from a recent friendly tournament, signaling his uncertain future at the club. The injury now effectively slams the door shut on any possibility of a loan or transfer, leaving his immediate career path in doubt.

Bardghji's history with this same knee adds another layer of concern. He suffered a severe injury to the same ligament before his transfer to Barcelona in the summer of 2025, which sidelined him for ten months. The upcoming surgery means he will likely miss the entire current season, a harsh reality for a player who had already been deemed surplus to requirements.

The player will undergo surgery in the coming days and practically says goodbye to the season.
