PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Have Knee Surgery After Injury
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a winger for Paris Saint-Germain, will undergo knee surgery after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during the club's 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona on October 20. The injury occurred in the 59th minute following a challenge with Barcelona defender Xavi Espart, leaving Kvaratskhelia unable to put weight on his right leg.
PSG has not yet provided a recovery timeline, creating uncertainty regarding his absence from the squad. Kvaratskhelia, who joined PSG from Napoli in January 2025, has made 11 appearances this season and has become a vital player for the team.
His injury compounds PSG's existing fitness issues, as Ousmane Dembele and captain Marquinhos are also sidelined with injuries. Despite these setbacks, PSG remains at the top of the Champions League table with three wins from three matches after their win against Barcelona, which saw them score twice in the final minutes to secure the victory.
