Roony Bardghji, a winger for Barcelona, suffered an injury to his right knee during Monday's training session at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper. Sources from the Catalan club confirmed the incident, which forced the player to leave the field.
The club is expected to issue a statement on Tuesday, once the full extent of the injury and the necessary treatment plan are determined, provided the player gives his consent. This latest setback comes after Bardghji experienced a severe right knee injury prior to his transfer to Barcelona in the summer of 2025, an injury that sidelined him for ten months.
The 20-year-old Swedish international was reportedly not part of coach Hansi Flick's plans for the upcoming season, and the club was exploring options for his departure. Consequently, Bardghji did not participate in the recent friendly triangular match against Nottingham Forest and Udinese.
Meanwhile, other players joined the training session, including Anthony Gordon, and World Cup winners Eric Garcia and Joan Garcia, who had returned early. Players from Barรงa Atlรจtic and the youth academy also participated. Jules Kounde is scheduled to join training on Tuesday, while Pau Cubarsรญ, Lamine Yamal, and Pedri are expected on Wednesday, along with Ferran Torres, whose transfer negotiations between Barcelona and PSG are ongoing. Coach Flick has scheduled double training sessions for Wednesday and Thursday to intensify preparations for Sunday's friendly against Basel.
