Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 24-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward, was substituted in the 23rd minute of Wednesday’s Champions League match against Newcastle at the Parc des Princes. He suffered an ankle injury and underwent tests on Thursday. Georgian media and L’Equipe reported a two-week absence. RMC Sport and Le Parisien offered similar, but slightly different, information.
RMC Sport:
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia escaped serious injury after his ankle injury during the match against Newcastle.
No fracture. The length of his absence has not yet been announced; it is not expected to exceed 20 days.
Le Parisien:
“According to our information, which aligns with reports from the Georgian media, the Parisian number 7, who left Wednesday night’s match against Newcastle with an injury, should be sidelined for 2 to 3 weeks.”
That’s quite a short timeframe, giving us hope that Kvaratskhelia’s injury isn’t particularly serious. That’s the main thing, and excellent news. Now we have to wait to find out the exact duration, which always depends on each player and details that are difficult to control. Let’s hope the official news is just as positive; nothing is certain until then.
