BARCELONA, Spain (AP):

Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji will require surgery after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee, the Spanish club said yesterday.

Barcelona said the 20-year-old will undergo surgery in the coming days but did not provide a timetable for his recovery.

The injury occurred during the team’s training session on Monday.

Barcelona were reportedly negotiating a loan move for the Swedish player to another club.

Bardghji arrived from Copenhagen last year and made 28 competitive appearances during the 2025-26 season, scoring two goals and providing four assists.

He signed a contract with Barcelona through to 2029. When announcing his arrival, the club noted that Bardghji’s rise had been temporarily stalled by a knee injury that sidelined him for almost a year.

Bardghji won three Danish league titles and two Danish Cups with Copenhagen.
