Paris Saint-Germain suffered a heavy blow during their match against Lens in the fourth round of the French league, after Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sustained a concerning injury to his calf muscle, forcing the coaching staff to substitute him in the 28th minute, as he failed to continue the match.

The injury occurred after a violent tackle from Lens player Odson Edouard in the third minute, where Kvaratskhelia fell to the ground and appeared to be in severe pain, before leaving the pitch and being replaced by player Ibrahima Mbaye.

This absence adds to the struggles of the Parisian team, which is already missing the services of duo Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué due to injuries sustained during the international break with the French national team.

These alarming news come ahead of an anticipated clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona on October 1, as part of the UEFA Champions League, raising questions about the team’s attacking readiness.

Paris Saint-Germain is leading Lens 1-0 thanks to an early goal scored by Bradley Barcola in the 15th minute.
