Roony Bardghji faced speculation about his attitude after being omitted from Sweden’s World Cup squad. Reports from Sweden linked his absence to concerns about his behaviour within the national team environment, and the rumours gained attention while he struggled for regular minutes at Barcelona. Bardghji previously stayed silent, explaining that he understood the omission as a decision by Sweden manager Graham Potter and that he respects managers’ choices. He later felt compelled to respond because rumours had spread widely. He rejected claims about his conduct as unfounded and said he was proud and happy that Sweden qualified, even though he did not play, adding that he still feels part of the team.
"“I decided not to comment on my failure to be selected for the World Cup, as I understood it was simply a decision by Graham Potter. “I have always respected my managers' decisions, whether I agreed with them or not,” he said."
"“I realised I had to speak out because the rumours spread in that article were completely unfounded. “I was very happy and proud that we qualified for the World Cup, even though I didn't play in the match. “I still feel part of the team. All those rumours that have been circulating about”"
