Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the 24-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker, only played 29 minutes in Sunday’s match against Lens (Matchday 4 of Ligue 1), despite starting. But there is ultimately some positive news about the Georgian’s calf injury. L’Equipe confirmed on Monday that he is likely to be back on Wednesday against Atalanta (Matchday 1 of the Champions League).
“According to initial reports, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s injury, Sunday against Lens (2-0), is unlikely to keep the Parisian out for very long. His entourage was reassuring this Monday afternoon, confirming the pain but not ruling out a presence in the squad for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Atalanta Bergamo.”
This is encouraging, even if nothing is official yet. Kvaratskhelia didn’t seem to have anything serious, even though he was obviously in significant pain at the time. Perhaps he would have recovered in another match, as expected.
We now hope that the good news will be confirmed, so we can have a very strong squad for this European match.
