Roony Bardghji, who was signed by Barça last summer from Copenhagen for €2.5 million, suffered the injury during training on Monday and could be sidelined for at least six to seven months, according to Catalan media. Having already struggled for game time last season as a backup to the prodigy Lamine Yamal, Bardghji was rumored to be on his way out for several weeks—especially following the arrivals of English winger Anthony Gordon and German star Karim Adeyemi.
