Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to have an operation in the coming days after tearing the cruciate ligament in his right knee, according to L’Equipe.
The procedure is scheduled for the start of the week and will take place at the Aspetar clinic in Doha. The exact date of the surgery has not yet been confirmed.
Kvaratskhelia sustained the injury during PSG’s 4-2 victory over Barcelona in the league phase of the Champions League.
The Georgia international is expected to face a recovery period of about six months.
Kvaratskhelia, who joined the French side, has made 11 appearances for PSG in all competitions this season. He has scored two goals and provided one assist.
