Why Barcelona's Roony Bardghji was left out of Sweden squad for crucial World Cup play-off against Poland
"It was a difficult decision. We have a lot of players. We had Gustav (Lundgren) as an option on the right. We knew we had Besfort (Zeneli), Taha (Ali), Gustaf Nilsson, etc."
"Bardghji's position was sold out. But everyone knows his qualities. That's the difficult part of a coach's job when there are many options, but you have to choose."
Roony Bardghji faced disappointment during the international break as he did not play in Sweden's matches against Poland and Ukraine. Despite being called up, he was absent from the match-day squad for the crucial game against Poland, which secured Sweden's World Cup 2026 spot. Manager Graham Potter explained the decision, citing the abundance of options in Bardghji's position. He acknowledged Bardghji's qualities but emphasized the challenges of making selections with many players available. Bardghji now returns to Barcelona, hoping for more first-team opportunities soon.
