Overview
- Roony Bardghji suffered a right-knee injury during training on Monday and left the session in visible pain before medical tests confirmed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
- Barcelona announced he will have surgery in the coming days and media reporting projects a roughly six- to seven-month recovery, effectively ending plans for a summer loan or transfer.
- This is a recurrence: Bardghji previously tore the same ACL in 2024 while at Copenhagen and missed about ten months, raising concerns about his long-term durability and development.
- As an immediate response, Barcelona moved several players who are close to leaving onto individualized training programmes to reduce the risk of further transfer-disrupting injuries.
- Bardghji will remain at Barcelona to rehabilitate under the club’s medical team and his absence could reshape short-term squad options and loan-market plans through the rest of the season.
