FC Barcelona has confirmed that 20-year-old Swedish winger Roony Bardghji has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. The injury occurred during a training session and is a recurring issue for the player, who previously suffered a similar injury while at FC Copenhagen in 2024.

Bardghji, who joined the club from Copenhagen for €2.5 million last summer, is scheduled to undergo surgery. While recovery typically requires six to seven months, some reports suggest the player could potentially remain sidelined until as late as 2027. This medical setback effectively halts any immediate transfer plans for the player, including a potential loan move that was reportedly being considered to secure more playing time following the arrivals of Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon.

Under coach Hansi Flick, Bardghji has primarily served as a backup to Lamine Yamal. In response to the injury, FC Copenhagen released a supportive message on social media encouraging the player to “stay strong.”

Following the injury, Bardghji underwent successful surgery on a Wednesday. While in the hospital, he received support from teammates including Gavi, Pedri, Alejandro Balde, and Hector Fort. Prior to this setback, the player had attracted interest from several European clubs, including Juventus, AC Milan, Aston Villa, Valencia, Marseille, Lille, and Ajax, for either a permanent move or a loan. He remains under contract with Barcelona until June 2029.
