Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji is set for a prolonged period of absence after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old, who made 28 first-team appearances for Hansi Flick\u2019s side last season, is set to undergo surgery in the coming days and could miss the majority of the upcoming season with the injury.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time Bardghji has suffered a serious knee injury in his career, with an injury in May 2024<\/a> leading to a 334-day absence from first-team action at previous club Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

The Sweden international, who scored two goals and registered four assists last campaign, was expected to leave the Camp Nou on loan this summer, due to a lack of expected playing time following the arrivals of Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon.<\/p>\n

However, he will not stay at the club and use its facilities while he recovers from the ACL.<\/p>\n

Born in Kuwait, Bardghji has played three times for Sweden but was not included in the nation\u2019s squad for this summer\u2019s World Cup finals.<\/p>\n
