Paris Saint-Germain star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is set to undergo surgery after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, which is likely to rule him out for the remainder of the season.
The Georgian winger twisted his knee during PSG's 4-2 victory on Tuesday. He was unable to put any weight on his leg and required assistance to leave the pitch just before the hour mark.
The match also brought further injury concerns for the French club. Forward Ousmane Dembele was forced off in the 19th minute after suffering a thigh injury, and defender Marquinhos was later substituted with a similar issue. PSG confirmed that both Dembele and Marquinhos will receive medical treatment over the next few weeks.
Despite the injuries, the Tuesday victory kept PSG at the top of the Champions League standings, maintaining a perfect record of three wins from three matches.
