A major talent from FC Barcelona has been left out of the national team squad for the World Cup, with reports claiming the decision was not based on football ability.
The player in question is Roony Bardghji, who was surprisingly excluded from Sweden’s World Cup squad by coach Graham Potter.
Why he was left out
Reports suggest the decision was due to disciplinary issues and negative impact on team atmosphere, rather than performance.
The situation reportedly escalated after:
Frustration over lack of playing time
Heated discussions with coaching staff
Visible dissatisfaction during team celebrations
The coach’s stance
Potter is said to have concluded that the player was putting individual interests ahead of the team, which affected squad unity and morale.
Bottom line
Despite his talent and strong performances at Barcelona, his behaviour reportedly cost him a place in the World Cup squad.
