Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has surgery after suffering ACL injury

Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has undergone successful surgery in Doha after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the French club said on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old Georgia international sustained the injury during PSG’s 4-2 Champions League win over Barcelona last week. He twisted his right knee and was helped from the pitch shortly before the hour mark.

The operation took place a day after Kvaratskhelia finished sixth in the 2026 Ballon d’Or.

“He will now begin his rehabilitation,” PSG said in a statement.

ACL injuries typically require a recovery period of at least six months.
