According to a post on its official Instagram account on Wednesday October 28, 2026, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has shared a photo of Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi visiting him in hospital, a day after the winger underwent successful surgery on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
The Georgian international posted the image to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Al-Khelaïfi visited Kvaratskhelia at the Aspetar clinic in Doha, Qatar, to show his support as the forward begins a lengthy recovery.
Kvaratskhelia suffered the injury to his right knee during PSG’s 4-2 UEFA Champions League victory over Barcelona.
The club confirmed that surgery had been successful. No direct quote from Kvaratskhelia or Al-Khelaïfi accompanied the information provided, and the Instagram Story itself was not available beyond the supplied link.
The injury is expected to keep the 25-year-old out of action for at least six to nine months, leaving PSG without one of their key attacking players for an important part of the season.
His rehabilitation will begin following the operation, with his return dependent on his progress and medical assessments.
Al-Khelaïfi’s visit offered a public show of support from the club’s president as Kvaratskhelia faces the demanding recovery process.
The photograph shared by the player captured the pair together at the Doha clinic, where he is receiving care after surgery.
An ACL injury is a serious setback for any footballer, often requiring months of rehabilitation before a return to competitive play.
The length of Kvaratskhelia’s absence means PSG will need to manage his recovery carefully rather than rush him back before he is ready.
