Overview
- The 20-year-old left a Barcelona training session in clear pain on Monday after a knee incident that led to an immediate medical assessment and further tests.
- Barcelona confirmed on Tuesday that Bardghji has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will undergo surgery in the coming days.
- Transfer analysts and multiple outlets have estimated a six- to seven-month recovery, though the club has not published a precise timeline.
- The injury effectively cancels any planned summer loan or transfer before the window closes and prompted Barcelona to place several exit-bound players on individual training programmes as a precaution.
- This is Bardghji’s second ACL tear after a 2024 injury that kept him out for about ten months, a recurrence that raises material questions about his long-term development and rehabilitation plan.
