Barcelona fear serious knee injury for Roony Bardghji; could face several months out

Barcelona has suffered a serious setback with the potential knee injury of Roony Bardghji, which could sideline the young winger for several months. The player had to leave training on Monday after suffering a knee problem, according to reports from SPORT. The club is very concerned about the severity of the injury, and initial indications suggest that Bardghji could be out of action for a long period. Barcelona finished the 2025 season as La Liga champions with 94 points, 31 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in 38 games, with a goal difference of +59 (95 scored, 36 conceded).

What happened in training?

Bardghji was training normally with the team before the incident occurred. The 20-year-old Swedish player participated in the session after being left out of Hansi Flick's squad for the friendly against Udinese, mainly because he was about to leave. However, his day took a sudden turn when he was unable to continue due to the knee problem. The pain he experienced was considerable, increasing concerns about the severity of the injury.

Why is it concerning for Barcelona?

The situation is particularly alarming because Bardghji has already suffered a serious knee injury in his career. Previously, the Swedish forward was sidelined for up to ten months due to a similar problem. Now, Barcelona must determine if the new injury affects the same knee and if there is any connection between both incidents. The uncertainty about his recovery and the possibility of requiring surgery adds more tension to the club.

What's next for Bardghji and Barcelona?

Barcelona's medical team has already conducted an initial examination, but definitive tests are needed to determine the extent of the problem. The initial indications are not positive, and Bardghji could be out of action for several months if the injury is as serious as feared. The club is waiting for clarity before determining the exact recovery time. Meanwhile, Barcelona prepares for their next match against Valencia at home on January 31, 2027, where they will aim to maintain their lead in La Liga.
