Wonderkid Bardghji returns from ACL injury
WHAT HAPPENED?
Roony Bardghji made his long-awaited comeback for FC Copenhagen as he was brought on to the pitch in the 66th minute on their match against Randers. Copenhagen won the Superliga – Title match by 1-0 with a goal by Mattsson in the 21st minute. This competition features the 6 top teams in the Danish League and Copenhagen is now 2nd, 1 point behind Midtjylland. They play 6th place Nordsjaelland on the weekend.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 19-year-old Bardghji had been sidelined since sustaining a rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament in May 2024. His return comes after nearly a year of rehabilitation, with his last appearance being 334 days prior to this match. FC Copenhagen head coach Jacob Neestrup had been cautious in reintegrating Bardghji into the first team.
Before his full return to the first team, Bardghji had made an appearance for the club’s U21s as part of his recovery process. His comeback is timely for Copenhagen, who have seen their lead at the top of the Superliga standings reduced in recent weeks.
WHAT NEXT?
FC Copenhagen will now prepare for their next Danish Superliga fixture. The team will aim to maintain their position at the top of the league table and extend their unbeaten run in the competition. Bardghji’s return adds a significant boost to the squad as they enter the crucial part of the season.
For Bardghji personally, the focus will be on regaining match fitness and form after his long absence. His progress will be closely monitored by the coaching staff to ensure a smooth transition back into regular competitive football.
