Kvaratskhelia sustained the ACL injury to his right knee and required surgical intervention to address the damage. The 23-year-old underwent the procedure in Doha, with PSG confirming the operation's success on Tuesday.
The injury comes shortly after Kvaratskhelia finished sixth in the 2026 Ballon d'Or rankings, an individual accolade that underscored his importance to the club's campaign this season.
The exact timeline for his return to competitive action has not been disclosed. ACL injuries typically require an extended rehabilitation period, potentially sidelining players for several months.
Kvaratskhelia joined PSG from Napoli last year and has been a key contributor to the club's attacking play. His absence is expected to impact PSG's squad depth as they navigate the remainder of the domestic and European campaigns.
