PSG’s Kvaratskhelia to have surgery on ruptured ACL

Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will undergo surgery after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona. The 25-year-old sustained the severe knee injury during a challenge with Xavi Espart and was forced off in the 59th minute. PSG has not set an official timeline for his recovery, though the Georgia international expressed his determination to return stronger.

PSG also confirmed that teammates Ousmane Dembele and Marquinhos will miss several weeks due to respective thigh injuries. The French club secured the win with two late goals at Parc des Princes, leaving them top of the Champions League standings with three wins from three matches.
