Hansi Flick has found Lamine Yamal injury replacement

Hansi Flick has a new candidate to step into Barcelona’s attacking mix after the injury blow to Lamine Yamal.

The Catalan side’s strong league position means Flick can rotate more freely in the final matchdays, and that extra breathing room has opened the door for a fringe attacker who has spent most of the campaign on the fringes.

Yamal’s setback against Celta Vigo, which has curtailed his minutes in the final stretch, has created a vacancy on the offensive left that Barcelona will now use as a showcase for a player desperate to prove he belongs at this level.

That player is Roony Bardghji, the Swedish attacker who arrived at Camp Nou for a modest €2 million fee last summer as part of Barça’s long‑term talent pipeline, as reported by Diario Sport.

After a promising pre‑season, Bardghji was expected to chip in with cameos and squad‑depth contributions, but his role quickly shrank to just a handful of league starts as the calendar packed out with big‑match demands.

The 20‑year‑old has since drifted into the “outcast” category, with transfer‑window speculation and even potential loan options floated around his name.

Now, with six league games left and Yamal sidelined, Barcelona and Flick see this run‑in as a make‑or‑break audition phase for Bardghji: impress him between the lines and his chances of staying in the first‑team picture next season rise sharply.

Barcelona’s broader plan still involves adding a more established attacking piece—names such as Marcus Rashford have been floated—but if Bardghji capitalises on these rare opportunities, he could force the club to reconsider his status.

The alternative remains a loan move to another top‑tier outfit, where he would get consistent minutes and tougher tests of his quality.

In the short term, however, the youthful winger has a chance to turn his “outcast” label into something more meaningful: a genuine contender for Hansi Flick’s attacking rotation.
