Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 24-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker, was substituted in the 23rd minute of Wednesday’s Champions League match against Newcastle at the Parc des Princes. He injured his ankle in a challenge with Anthony Elanga and subsequently underwent tests, the results of which are relatively positive, according to L’Equipe.
“The Georgian PSG striker underwent tests on Thursday. These revealed that there was no fracture, as reported by Georgian media and confirmed by L’Equipe. His recovery time is estimated at approximately two weeks before he can resume training.”
If this is confirmed, it’s important to remain cautious until it’s official, as the media has often made inaccurate reports about injuries. This would be rather good news for Kvaratskhelia and PSG. Given the nature of the injury, a long absence of several weeks was feared. He wouldn’t miss many matches there, and possibly not even the first leg of the Champions League playoff (February 17/18, return leg on the 24th or 25th). Let’s hope PSG’s medical report confirms this hope.
