Barcelona Winger Roony Bardghji to Have Surgery for a Ruptured ACL in His Right Knee
Barcelona said the 20-year-old Swedish winger will undergo surgery and miss much of the 2026-27 season after an ACL tear.
- Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji will undergo surgery after rupturing his ACL during training on Monday, with the 20-year Swedish player facing at least six months of recovery before the season begins.
- After joining Barcelona from Copenhagen last year, Bardghji recorded two goals and four assists but remained a fringe player until Lamine Yamal's hamstring injury in April created opportunities for him.
- The recurrence is particularly concerning because Bardghji previously missed almost a year due to significant knee ligament damage during the 2023-24 campaign, making this his second major ACL setback.
- Barcelona had reportedly negotiated to loan Bardghji elsewhere this summer, but the injury scuppered those transfer plans two weeks before the Aug. 23 season opener against Elche, forcing Hansi Flick to adjust his attacking options.
- Flick remains content with his current attacking depth despite eight players being included on the World Cup-winning Spain roster, relying on summer signings like 18-year Bisiwu and Karim Adeyemi to provide cover.
