Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Undergo Surgery After ACL Injury

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a winger for Paris Saint-Germain, is set to undergo surgery after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament during a Champions League match against Barcelona on Tuesday night, which PSG won 4-2.

The 25-year-old player, who was recognized as the Champions League's best player last season, will have the operation in the coming days, although no recovery timeline has been provided. His injury raises doubts about his ability to return this season, and he will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Aston Villa on December 8.

This injury is a significant setback for PSG, who are aiming for a third consecutive Champions League title. Kvaratskhelia joined PSG from Napoli for £59 million in January 2025 and has been a key player, contributing to the team's success in recent seasons. Additionally, PSG also lost Ousmane Dembele and captain Marquinhos to injuries during the same match, further complicating their campaign.
