Bad news from Barcelona's training camp. Young winger Roony Bardghji got injured on Monday, August 10, 2026, and early signs point to a serious knee problem that could sideline him for several months.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, the player was training as usual before suddenly stopping, showing signs of intense pain. The club's medical staff immediately intervened and conducted an initial examination, after which Bardghji left the pitch limping.
Concern at the club is further heightened by the fact that Bardghji has had serious knee issues in the past. A previous injury to the same joint kept him off the football pitch for as long as ten months. Now there is growing fear that this could be a recurrence of the same injury.
Coach Hansi Flick had left the player off the squad list for the match against Udinese, and the injury occurred right in the training session that followed. The exact diagnosis is not yet known, and the club is awaiting the results of detailed scans that will show whether it is damage requiring a longer break or even surgery.
The initial examinations conducted by Barcelona's medical team have already indicated a worrying condition in the knee. Additional tests are expected in the coming hours, after which the club will announce the final diagnosis and expected recovery time.
An official timeline for his absence has not yet been released. However, early signs, especially in the context of his history of knee injuries, raise fears of a layoff that could last several months. If the severity of the injury is confirmed, Bardghji could face surgery, which would be a heavy blow for the young player at the start of his career at Barcelona and would significantly disrupt the club's plans for the new season.
The club is expected to release an official statement as soon as all tests are completed and a final diagnosis is made, detailing the nature of the injury and the projected duration of Bardghji's absence.
