Triple Injury Blow Rocks PSG After Barcelona Win
21 Oct
Summary
- Kvaratskhelia tore his cruciate ligament and faces months out.
- Dembele and Marquinhos also sustained injuries during the match.
- PSG secured a 4-2 victory despite significant player availability issues.
Paris Saint-Germain has suffered a significant blow following their 4-2 victory against FC Barcelona, with three key players sustaining injuries. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been confirmed to have torn his cruciate ligament, an injury that will sideline him for several months. The midfielder incurred the injury in a challenge during the second half and required assistance to leave the field.
Adding to the team's woes, captain Marquinhos and star forward Ousmane Dembele also left the match due to injuries. Dembele's injury occurred in the first half during a sprint, while Marquinhos was hurt in a separate challenge. Both players' absences are a severe blow to PSG, especially Dembele, who had recently returned to outstanding form.
Despite these mounting injury concerns, the reigning Champions League winners secured a crucial win against a strong Barcelona side. Goals from Vitinha and Fabian sealed the victory after Lamine Yamal had equalized late in the game. PSG now leads their Champions League group, but faces upcoming league and European fixtures with a depleted squad.
