Roony Bardghji suffers serious knee injury at FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. The 20-year-old Swedish international is scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming days.

The injury occurred during training and will significantly impact the player's career trajectory. Bardghji, who joined Barcelona from FC Copenhagen last summer, was reportedly considering a loan move to gain more playing time following the arrivals of Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon. This medical setback effectively ends any possibility of a transfer during the current or upcoming January windows.

This is the second major knee injury for the winger; he previously missed ten months of action due to a similar injury while playing for FC Copenhagen in 2024. In response to the injury news, FC Copenhagen released a supportive message on social media, encouraging the player to stay strong.

While the exact recovery timeline is pending surgery, such injuries typically require at least six to seven months of rehabilitation. Some reports suggest the player could potentially remain sidelined until as late as 2027.
