The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday during the 1-1 draw against Newcastle in the Champions League, will be sidelined for "eight to ten days," announced the Parisian club this Thursday.

This recovery period is a relief for PSG, as on Wednesday coach Luis Enrique had expressed concern and feared a "complicated" injury for the player.

The Georgian star, who arrived in Paris in January, is confirmed to miss the match on Sunday against Strasbourg and is doubtful for the classic against Olympique de Marseille the following Sunday.

Kvara, 24, twisted his right ankle in a clash with Newcastle forward Anthony Elanga, who received a yellow card at 20 minutes for this foul.

The PSG player had to leave the field supported by a member of the medical team and his teammate Achraf Hakimi and was replaced by Désiré Doué.

The draw was not good for either PSG or Newcastle. Both teams had started the round within the G8, which guaranteed direct qualification for the Champions League round of 16, but now they will have to compete in the playoffs, scheduled for February.
