PSG official statement

Injured in the 59th minute

The 25-year-old was injured in a duel with Barcelona's Xavi Espart in the 59th minute. He stayed on the ground in pain, could not put weight on his right foot and left the pitch with help from medical staff.

Kvaratskhelia is expected to be out for at least 6-9 months. He will therefore miss the PSG-Galatasaray match on 27 January 2027.
