Oct 21 (Reuters) - ⁠Paris St Germain's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ⁠will undergo surgery after rupturing ‌the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the Champions League win ​over Barcelona, the French ⁠club said ⁠on Wednesday.

Kvaratskhelia twisted his knee during ⁠PSG's 4-2 ‌win on Tuesday and was helped off ⁠the pitch just before the hour ​mark, ‌with the Georgian winger unable ⁠to put ​any weight on his leg.

Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembele was also forced ⁠to come off in ​the 19th minute due to a thigh injury while defender Marquinhos was ⁠substituted with a similar injury.

PSG said both players will remain under treatment for the next ​few weeks.

PSG are ⁠top of the standings in the ​Champions League with ‌three wins from three ​games.
