Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia suffers ACL injury

Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during a Champions League match against Barcelona. The 25-year-old Georgian international is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days and faces a long period of recovery, potentially missing the remainder of the season.

The injury occurred during PSG's 4-2 victory over Barcelona, a match that also saw Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos sustain thigh injuries. Manager Luis Enrique noted that while losing multiple key players in a single game is difficult, the squad remains motivated and he does not intend to seek new signings during the winter transfer window.

Despite the setback, PSG remains in strong form, having won their opening matches in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. The club is currently considering internal options to fill the void on the left flank, with players like Mika Godts, Désiré Doué, and Désiré Akliouche mentioned as potential contributors.
