Kvaratskhelia suffered the injury after a challenge by Anthony Elanga midway through the first half at the Parc des Princes.

After a few moments of treatment, he was helped by right-back Achraf Hakimi, who was injured on the same pitch against Bayern Munich in November, and a member of staff.
Kvaratskhelia was unable to put any weight on his right leg, which was stretched out in front of him as he was helped down the tunnel. Kvaratskhelia scored against Sporting last Tuesday and looked very good on the right wing before his injury.
Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Nuno Mendes, goalkeeper Matvei Safonov and several other key players have been injured this season.
Some, like Doué, Dembélé and now Kvaratskhelia, have been injured twice. ___
