Roony Bardghji
BAR
Undergoes successful surgery
Bardghji underwent a successful ACL surgery in his right knee, the club announced Wednesday.
Analysis: Bardghji suffered the injury earlier this month, and he's now expected to miss the majority -- if not all -- of the 2026/27 season. Bardghji was expected to be a backup in Barcelona's attacking line, however, so his absence won't be a big issue from a fantasy perspective.
Suffers second torn ACL
Bardghji suffered another torn ACL in his right knee and will be out for six to seven months, according to Barca Universal.
Analysis: Bardghji's injury affects the same right knee he had already torn during his time at Copenhagen in 2024, a setback that kept him out for many months at the time. The injury occurred during Monday morning training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, forcing him to leave the session early and visibly affected. The diagnosis completely upends Barcelona's plans for the winger, who had not traveled with the squad to Udine over the weekend while negotiating a possible exit for playing time elsewhere. Any potential loan is now on hold, with the club also not expected to register him for competitive play as he begins a long recovery process.
Suffers likely serious knee injury
Bardghji did not finish Monday's training session after suffering what could be a serious knee injury, with the cruciate ligament potentially affected pending official medical tests, according to Sergi Capdevila of Sport.
Analysis: Bardghji had already been left out of coach Hansi Flick's squad for the Udine triangular tournament, and this new setback comes amid open talks over his future, with a loan or permanent move drawing offers from LaLiga and abroad, a process this injury could now stall. He previously suffered a serious knee injury that kept him out for 10 months, and the club is expected to issue an official statement once the definitive diagnosis is confirmed, though the early signs point toward a lengthy absence.
Single shot
Bardghji registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Deportivo Alaves.
Analysis: Bardghji took a single shot during Wednesday's loss. It was a rough match for him and the rest of Barcelona, but the league title is already clinched, so it's clear the club is rotating players and giving players such as Bardghji more chances to close the campaign. He should get a few more chances in the final two matches of the campaign.
No assist despite service volume
Bardghji registered two shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Osasuna.
Analysis: Bardghji had five crosses and three corners but only one of the crosses was on point in an off day for the attacker. He'll need to be better for Barcelona to get the better of Real Madrid in El Clasico, though the Catalan club has already secured the LaLiga title.
Starts on Saturday
Bardghji had one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win over Getafe.
Analysis: Bardghji started just his fifth game of the campaign and led the team in crosses. He completed all 23 of his passes, achieving a perfect 100% pass accuracy, and also created a chance. Additionally, he made a tackle and a clearance. With Lamine Yamal and Raphinha absent, Bardghji is expected to feature much more in upcoming matches.
Subbed in on Wednesday
Bardghji generated one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Celta Vigo.
Analysis: Bardghji came on for the injured Lamine Yamal during first-half stoppage time. The severity of Lamine Yamal's injury is currently unknown, but he is likely to miss the rest of the campaign. This would mean significantly more playing time for Bardghji, who has started only four times so far this season.
