Paris Saint‑Germain confirmed on Tuesday that their Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had undergone a successful operation in Doha, following the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee which he suffered during the match against FC Barcelona. The intervention, carried out at Aspetar Hospital, stabilized the injury and paves the way for the next phase of his rehabilitation.
The Parisian club specified that the operation took place without complications and that Kvaratskhelia will now be able to begin his rehabilitation program. However, no precise estimate of the duration of its unavailability has been communicated. PSG is therefore awaiting the results of the next stages of its medical monitoring before setting a return schedule. According to experts, a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament generally requires a minimum of six months of absence, which suggests that the player could miss a large part of the current season.
This operation comes a week after the seriousness of the injury to the club's left winger was confirmed, highlighting the fragility of the Parisian squad in terms of injuries. PSG have already treated several of their players in Doha in recent years, demonstrating the club's confidence in Qatar's medical facilities. The Parisian medical staff will closely monitor Kvaratskhelia's progress, without rushing his return to the field.
Supporters at the Parc des Princes expressed their support for the winger during the match against Olympique Lyonnais, where a banner and messages of solidarity were displayed. The club has thus shown its commitment to supporting the player in his healing process, without putting pressure on a premature return.
While awaiting future updates, PSG remains focused on Kvaratskhelia's health and optimizing his recovery. The club hope that rehabilitation will go smoothly, allowing the Georgian to return to fitness for the end of the season, although the return remains uncertain until his knee responds favorably to treatment.
