Paris Saint-Germain winger Kvaratskhelia has suffered a fresh injury setback, raising doubts over his availability for upcoming fixtures. The Georgian star was substituted at half-time in the recent Ligue 1 win over Auxerre after showing signs of discomfort in his thigh.
Before the substitution, Kvaratskhelia tried to continue but looked far from his best. The medical staff decided not to risk him further, and Bradley Barcola came on in his place. Reports suggest the issue could be a muscle problem, though the exact extent of the injury is still unclear.
The timing of this injury is worrying for PSG. They are preparing for a Champions League clash with Barcelona, and the team is already struggling with multiple fitness concerns. Players like Marquinhos and Ousmane Dembélé are also dealing with injuries, making the squad depth thinner than expected.
Coaches and medical staff are waiting for detailed test results to confirm how serious the problem is. For now, the club has only said that further evaluation will determine his recovery timeline. If Kvaratskhelia is ruled out, PSG will need to adjust their attacking setup quickly.
The winger has been one of PSG’s most effective players this season, known for his pace, creativity, and goal threat. His absence could affect their chances in both domestic and European competitions. Fans are hopeful that the injury is not severe and that he can return in time for crucial matches.
The coming days will be important as updates on his condition are expected. Until then, PSG must prepare for the possibility of playing without their in-form attacker in the short term.
