The joy of victory for Paris Saint-Germain, who defeated Barcelona 4-2 in the 3rd week of the UEFA Champions League, was overshadowed by injury news. The French team, which finished the first half of the massive clash 1-0 ahead, left the pitch with a decisive win, making it 3 wins out of 3 in the group and raising their points tally to 9.
Barcelona, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat of the season in all competitions with this result. However, the most talked-about topic in the PSG camp after the match was the condition of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian footballer, who started the match in the first 11, could not continue due to an injury he sustained and was replaced by Maghnes Akliouche in the 58th minute. According to L'Equipe, initial checks have raised the suspicion of a cruciate ligament injury for Kvaratskhelia.
It was stated that an MRI will be performed today to clarify the star player's health status. Reports in the French press indicated that Kvaratskhelia and his inner circle are concerned about the severity of the injury.
Kvaratskhelia was not the only name to suffer an injury at PSG. Marquinhos and Ousmane Dembele were also unable to continue the match due to injuries sustained during the contest.
The 25-year-old Kvaratskhelia, who has played in 11 official matches for PSG this season, has contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in those appearances.
