PSG Confirm Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Will Miss Rest of Season

Paris Saint-Germain have suffered a major setback after confirming that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. The Georgian winger is set to undergo surgery in the coming days, and the injury is expected to rule him out for the remainder of the 2026–27 season.

Kvaratskhelia sustained the injury during PSG’s 4–2 Champions League victory over Barcelona on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old went down after an awkward movement while tracking back and was unable to put weight on his right leg. He was helped off the pitch shortly before the hour mark, immediately raising concerns about the seriousness of the injury.

The news is a significant blow for Luis Enrique, as Kvaratskhelia has been one of PSG’s most influential attacking players. After helping the French club win the Champions League last season, he was expected to play a central role in their attempt to secure a third consecutive European title. His absence leaves PSG without a key source of pace, creativity and attacking threat for the months ahead.

PSG have also confirmed injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and captain Marquinhos, who are both expected to remain under treatment for several weeks. Dembélé has a left thigh injury, while Marquinhos sustained an injury to his right thigh. Despite the convincing win over Barcelona, the triple setback presents Luis Enrique with a major challenge as the club prepares for a demanding run of domestic and European fixtures.
