Paris St Germain’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will undergo surgery following a severe ACL rupture in his right knee, sustained during the Champions League match against Barcelona. The injury occurred during PSG’s impressive 4-2 victory on Tuesday, when Kvaratskhelia twisted his knee and was unable to put weight on his leg, leading to his substitution just before the hour mark.

In a distressing moment, Kvaratskhelia landed awkwardly after attempting to tackle Xavi Espart, visibly in pain as he clutched his right knee. This incident marks a significant blow for PSG, already grappling with multiple injuries.

Earlier in the match, Ousmane Dembélé had to leave the field in the 19th minute due to a thigh injury, while defender Marquinhos was also substituted for a similar issue. PSG announced that both players are set to undergo treatment over the next few weeks.

Coach Luis Enrique has previously managed Dembélé’s workload carefully, having rested him multiple times this season, especially given his history of leg muscle injuries. Despite a successful season where Dembélé played 50 games and secured the men’s Ballon d’Or, his ongoing injury struggles continue to be a concern for the team.
