PSG’s Kvaratskhelia Set For Long Absence With Torn ACL

On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain confirmed that star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will undergo surgery after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League win over Barcelona.
The 25-year-old appeared to twist his knee just before the hour mark, forcing him off the pitch unable to put any weight on his right leg as PSG secured the victory.
PSG also confirmed that Ousmane Dembele was forced off in the 19th minute with a thigh injury, while captain Marquinhos sustained a similar injury and will miss several weeks, adding defensive and attacking concerns.
Head coach Luis Enrique faces a major selection challenge without Kvaratskhelia, one of his most dangerous attacking weapons, leaving him with a significant hole to fill in the squad's attack.
Despite leading the Champions League standings with three wins, PSG must navigate a crowded schedule without three key players, complicating their pursuit of a third consecutive continental title as Kvaratskhelia is likely to miss the rest of the season.
