Barcelona Turns to Roony Bardghji After Lamine Yamal’s Season-Ending Injury

Barcelona treats the final six games as his audition for a role or a loan.

Overview

  • Lamine Yamal sustained a biceps femoris injury that rules him out for the rest of the season, clearing minutes on the right wing.
  • Head coach Hansi Flick said Roony Bardghji will get more chances and El Periódico reported he would start on the right against Getafe.
  • Roony has been a fringe option this season with 661 minutes compared with Yamal’s 3,702 and he has scored two goals for Barcelona.
  • Barcelona signed the 20-year-old from FC Copenhagen last summer for roughly €2–2.5 million on a four-year deal.
  • The club is weighing a summer loan as his market value is cited at about €15 million by Transfermarkt, and the Swedish winger’s background spans Kuwait, Malmö and Copenhagen with Syrian parentage.
