Khvicha Kvaratskhelia posted a heartbreaking message on his Instagram account after learning that he will be sidelined for many months after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the Champions League clash against Barcelona.
'“Many people have asked me questions about this setback, many have said that if all the footballers in the world prayed, the match would end in a draw. That might be true, but before every match I play, I ask God to let me leave the pitch unscathed, but in vain," he wrote.'
“It hasn’t been long, but it’s still on my mind: why me, really? I’ve never failed at anything, I probably prepared for this match in the best way I’ve ever prepared. I thought I was ready for everything, but I wasn’t, and I realize that God has chosen me and if He was protecting the players on another field, I am ready to go through these months of work, pain, tears,” he said.
'“I know I have to come back stronger for my people who always support me, I will not let them down, I promise I will not waste a single second. Thank you all for your support, see you soon,” he concluded.'
