PSG Injuries: Kvaratskhelia Needs Operation for Torn ACL, Dembélé and Marquinhos Have Thigh Tears
PSG said Kvaratskhelia will need knee surgery, while Dembélé and Marquinhos are expected to miss several weeks with thigh injuries.
- On Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Barcelona 4-2 in the Champions League, though star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ruptured his right ACL during the match. The club confirmed he will undergo surgery in the coming days.
- Kvaratskhelia sustained the injury during a second-half challenge with Barcelona defender Xavi Espart in the 59th minute, unable to bear weight on his right leg as medical staff helped him off the pitch.
- PSG also confirmed that captain Marquinhos and forward Ousmane Dembélé will be absent for several weeks due to thigh injuries sustained in the same match. Dembélé was substituted in the 19th minute, while Marquinhos departed in the second half.
- Coach Luis Enrique must now manage the squad without three key players as PSG prepares for Sunday's critical Ligue 1 clash against Olympique Lyonnais with both sides level at the top of the standings.
- ACL injuries typically require at least six months of rehabilitation, and the injury likely rules Kvaratskhelia out for the remainder of the season. This creates a significant personnel gap for the European champions.
