Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, leaving Paris Saint-Germain to consider internal replacements. The diagnosis came just a day after PSG's 4-2 Champions League win over Barcelona.
Injury timeline
GOAL says the injury will sideline Kvaratskhelia for months. SI says the injury is likely to rule Kvaratskhelia out for the remainder of the campaign.
Internal options
Mika Godts, Maghnes Akliouche and Désiré Doué are presented as options to replace Kvaratskhelia.
Alternative reshuffle
According to Foot Mercato, citing L'Équipe and Le Parisien, PSG are weighing up moving Nuno Mendes into a more advanced position. GOAL says Nuno Mendes remains out injured for several more weeks.
Squad picture
PSG told Le Parisien that they rate Senny Mayulu and Quentin Ndjantou highly, and both will feature in the rotation Luis Enrique leans on over the coming weeks. GOAL says signing a left winger in January remains on the table. SI says Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos both suffered muscle injuries which will sideline them for several weeks. SI says PSG now have three senior wingers in their roster, discounting Dembélé.
