Surgery Follows Separation From First-Team Squad
Roony Bardghji is facing a long road to recovery after undergoing surgery for a torn right anterior cruciate ligament.
The 20-year-old Swedish international sustained the injury during a training session. The incident occurred after head coach Hansi Flick left him out of the squad for a triangular tournament in Udine. According to reports, players placed on the club’s departure list have been training separately from the main group. Bardghji was among the players targeted for a potential exit from the Catalan club.
Hospital Visit From Teammates
Several teammates visited the Hospital of Barcelona to show their support following the procedure. Héctor Fort, Gavi, Pedri, and Alejandro Balde all arrived at the facility to check on the forward.
Bardghji shared a photo on social media alongside the visiting players. The image was accompanied by the message, «Os quiero amigos, gracias por venir» (I love you friends, thanks for coming), which was highlighted across multiple sports outlets.
Club Confirmation and Social Media Message
The club confirmed via official updates that the surgical intervention went well. However, no specific timeline for his recovery has been announced.
Following the operation, Bardghji posted a message on his social media channels stating, «El camino de vuelta empieza ahora» (The road back starts now), as reported by regional sports coverage.
Setback and Debut Campaign Statistics
This development marks a significant setback for the young forward, who missed out on a place at the World Cup. It is the second severe injury affecting the same right knee during his career.
Bardghji finished his debut campaign with the club recording two goals and four assists across 881 minutes of playing time, spread over 28 total appearances.
Uncertain Future Amid Rehabilitation
