Absolutely devastating news for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG have confirmed that the 25-year-old Georgian winger has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee following Tuesday’s 4–2 Champions League victory over Barcelona.
Kvaratskhelia was forced off just before the hour mark after landing awkwardly during a challenge with Barcelona’s Xavi Espart.
The injury is a major setback for the winger, who is now set to undergo surgery.
PSG confirmed: “Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set to undergo surgery in the coming days.”
The injury is expected to keep him sidelined for several months, dealing a huge blow to Luis Enrique’s side as they continue their domestic and European campaigns.
To make matters worse, PSG have also confirmed injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos, who are expected to require treatment over the coming weeks.
The news leaves Luis Enrique facing significant concerns over his squad’s fitness, with three important players now dealing with injuries.
For Kvaratskhelia, the focus will turn towards surgery and rehabilitation as he begins what could be a lengthy recovery process.
Football can be cruel sometimes, and the Georgian winger will undoubtedly be hoping to return stronger following this devastating setback.
