Barcelona holds its breath: the team's star will miss the entire season
During a training session for the Spanish champions as part of their preparation for the 2026/2027 season, they lost their talented Swedish midfielder. He is expected to be out of Hansi Flick's squad for about 8 months.
Difficult news comes from Barcelona's training complex. The young and promising midfielder, Roony Bardghji, was injured during a training session and, according to initial medical assessments, is suffering from a torn cruciate ligament.
This is a painful blow for the club and coach Hansi Flick. The 20-year-old Swede is expected to undergo surgery followed by a long and complex rehabilitation process that will keep him off the pitch for about 8 months, meaning he may miss most of the upcoming season.
As you may recall, Bardghji arrived at Barcelona last season from Denmark's Copenhagen. In his first season, he received limited playing time, but every time he stepped onto the pitch, he proved that he has real magic in his feet, exceptional ball control, and the ability to create chances out of nothing.
The Swede started the current pre-season games with a bang and was one of the standout bright spots for the Catalans. It seemed that Flick trusted him completely and intended to give him the keys to lead and take a central place in the team's rotation.
Unfortunately, the serious injury came just at the moment when his career was at its peak momentum. Now, the German coach will have to recalculate his path and find tactical solutions within the existing squad to fill the void, while Bardghji begins the long and demanding journey back to the pitch.
