PSG brace for season‑long blow as Kvara faces ACL surgery

Paris Saint‑Germain confirmed on Tuesday that their key attacker will miss the rest of the campaign after undergoing surgery on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. The announcement followed a highly‑anticipated clash with Barcelona, billed as a showcase of the two best clubs in Europe.

Injury fallout after Barcelona triumph

PSG celebrated a thrilling 4‑2 win over Barcelona, but the victory came at a price. Ousmane Dembele and Marquinhos limped off with what appeared to be minor soft‑tissue problems, while Khvicha Kvarastkhelia – often referred to as Kvara – suffered a ruptured ACL that ends his season.

Maghnes Akliouche celebrated his first PSG goal in the same match, only to reveal yesterday that he too will undergo ACL surgery in the coming days. Ferran Torres, meanwhile, has enjoyed a strong start to his time at the club, adding further depth to the attack.

Luis Enrique will have to overhaul his attacking strategy, having lost his best left‑winger for the remainder of the season. The coach now faces the challenge of reshaping his forward line without Kvara.

Internal tension has reportedly been building over the treatment of January signing Dro, who some feel is receiving special attention. Nuno Mendes will miss tomorrow’s game – and likely a few weeks more – after sustaining a muscle injury against Strasbourg.
