Paris Saint-Germain said on October 27 that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia underwent successful surgery in Doha, Qatar, for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
The Georgian winger will now begin rehabilitation, according to the club statement reported by Reuters and Agence France-Presse. Neither report supplied a confirmed date for his return to competition.
Kvaratskhelia sustained the injury during PSG’s October 20 Champions League win over Barcelona. The operation is a new development following the club’s earlier announcement that surgery was planned.
AFP also reported that Kvaratskhelia finished sixth in Monday’s Ballon d’Or voting. His immediate sporting outlook remains uncertain while rehabilitation begins; a successful operation does not establish when he will be ready to play.
