Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will undergo surgery after suffering an ACL injury during Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-2 win over Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Kvaratskhelia suffered the injury early in the second half during a challenge with Xavi Espar and immediately clutched his right knee as he fell to the ground.
The Georgia international received extensive treatment from PSG’s medical team and was unable to put weight on his right leg as he left the pitch.
A statement from PSG on Wednesday morning read: ‘Having suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during yesterday’s match against FC Barcelona, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will undergo surgery in the coming days.’
