SportsBarcelona winger Roony Bardghji has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in his right knee, sidelining him for a prolonged period. The 20-year-old Swedish international, who made 28 first-team appearances last season, is set to undergo surgery in the coming days and could miss the majority of the upcoming 2026-27 season. This is not his first serious knee injury; a similar problem in May 2024 led to a 334-day absence while at previous club Copenhagen. Bardghji, who scored two goals and registered four assists last term, was expected to leave Barcelona on loan this summer due to limited playing time following the arrivals of Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon. However, he will now remain at the club to use its facilities during recovery. He has three caps for Sweden but was not included in their squad for the 2026 World Cup.
