Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has suffered a serious knee injury following their 4-2 victory over FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, October 20.
According to the club’s official medical update, the Georgian winger has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee and will undergo surgery in the coming days.
Following the announcement, Kvaratskhelia shared an emotional message reflecting on the setback, his disappointment and his determination to return stronger.
“Many people have asked me questions about this setback, many have said that if all the footballers in the world prayed, the match would end in a draw. That might be true, but before every match I play, I ask God to leave the field unscathed, but in vain.”
“It hasn't been long, but it's still in my head - why me, actually? I've never missed anything, probably prepared for this game the best I've ever prepared. I thought I was prepared for everything, but no, and I realize that God has chosen me and if I was protecting the players on another field, I'm ready to go through these months of work, pain, tears.”
“I know I have to come back stronger for my people who always support me, I won't let you down, I promise I won't waste a second. Thank you all for your support, see you soon”.
