Injured during a tense match, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left the field after just 22 minutes as Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 with Newcastle. Coach Luis Enrique provided an update following the game.

A Tough Blow for PSG

After a hard-fought battle against Newcastle at Parc des Princes, PSG found themselves out of the top eight in the league phase, now facing the prospect of Champions League playoffs set for February. The uncertainty surrounding Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s participation remains a concern after he sustained an ankle injury due to a challenging tackle, requiring assistance to leave the pitch.

“It’s an ankle injury,” Luis Enrique confirmed during the post-match press conference. “It’s complicated, but I hope we’ll have good news. An important player has been injured in a difficult situation to judge. We will see tomorrow (this Thursday), he will undergo tests.“

Kvaratskhelia’s Comeback

This injury is a significant setback for PSG, who had recently welcomed back a nearly full squad after dealing with numerous absences. Following a challenging start to the season, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had found his form again, proving crucial in the Champions League with 3 goals and 3 assists during the league phase.
