FC Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji has torn his anterior cruciate ligament, the club confirmed, ruling the 20-year-old out for months after he left Monday's training session in tears with a knee injury. The club had initially scheduled medical tests to assess the extent of the damage, with fears focused on cruciate ligament involvement.
The injury deals a severe blow to Bardghji's immediate future at Barcelona. Representatives met with sporting director Deco on Friday to discuss options, and the club had approved a loan or a transfer with a buy-back clause for the player this window. The setback came just as Barcelona were seeking a loan destination for the winger.
Bardghji has endured repeated knee problems on the same leg, having missed roughly ten months with a serious injury while at FC Copenhagen in 2024. He joined Barcelona from Copenhagen a year ago for €2.5 million and made 28 appearances in his first season, though he managed only 872 minutes of playing time.
