Barcelona fear serious knee injury for promising winger; could face several months out

Barcelona fear serious knee injury for promising winger; could face several months out Barcelona have been hit by a worrying injury setback involving Roony Bardghji, with the winger forced to leave training on Monday after suffering a knee problem. According to SPORT , there is significant concern within the club over the injury, with initial indications suggesting that Bardghji could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.  The Barcelona medical staff have already carried out a first examination, but definitive tests will be needed before the full extent of the problem can be established. The Swedish winger was said to be in considerable pain after sustaining the injury and could now be facing several months out of action. Bardghji suffers worrying injury in training Bardghji had been training normally with the Barcelona squad before the incident occurred. The 20-year-old was involved in the session after being left out of Hansi Flick’s squad for the friendly against Udinese, which was largely because he was set to leave .  However, his day took a sudden turn when he was unable to continue after suffering the knee problem.

Further examinations are expected to take place in the coming hours, with the club waiting for a definitive diagnosis before providing an official update. At this stage, the indications are not positive. Bardghji could potentially be sidelined for several months if the injury proves to be as serious as initially feared.  There is also a possibility that surgery could be required, although that will depend entirely on the results of the medical tests. Barcelona are therefore waiting for clarity before determining the exact recovery timeline. The winger had been part of the club’s plans during pre-season, but the latest development could now completely change his immediate future.

The Swedish attacker was previously forced to spend as long as ten months on the sidelines because of a knee problem.  Barcelona will now have to establish whether the latest injury has affected the same knee and whether there is any connection between the two issues. For the moment, there is no definitive answer. What is clear is that Bardghji was in enough discomfort to be unable to finish Monday’s training session.  The medical team immediately assessed him, while the club began preparing for further tests to determine the severity of the injury.
