PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Out for Season Due to Injury

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a winger for Paris Saint-Germain, will be sidelined for the rest of the season following a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament sustained during a Champions League match against Barcelona.

The injury occurred when Kvaratskhelia fell awkwardly after a challenge from Barcelona's Xavi Espart at the Parc des Princes. He was substituted just before the 60-minute mark, and subsequent medical tests confirmed the severity of the injury.

This setback is particularly damaging for PSG, as Kvaratskhelia has been instrumental in the team's recent successes, having joined from Napoli in January 2025. The club also reported that Ousmane Dembele and captain Marquinhos suffered thigh injuries during the same match, which will keep them out for several weeks. PSG's head coach Luis Enrique expressed his disappointment over the injuries, highlighting the impact on the team's performance.
