Paris: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was injured as Paris Saint-Germain could only draw 1-1 with Newcastle United on Wednesday, according to beIN Sports. According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Luis Enrique expressed concern over Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's injury during the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United, which resulted in Paris Saint-Germain heading to the Champions League play-off round once again. A victory at the Parc des Princes would have propelled PSG into the top eight, and they initially seemed on track when Ousmane Dembele's penalty was saved, followed by Vitinha's goal in the eighth minute. However, PSG faced a setback when Kvaratskhelia suffered an ankle injury while fouling Anthony Elanga. Kvaratskhelia, who had assisted in Vitinha's goal, was helped off the field, and PSG struggled thereafter, allowing Newcastle to equalize through Joe Willock's goal. This injury is especially untimely as PSG was nearing full squad fitness, with Fabian Ruiz being the notable absentee during Wednesday's match. Coach L uis Enrique commented post-match, "We've lost another important player to injury; we'll have to see the tests on Thursday. It's his ankle, and it's complicated." PSG had previously overcome play-off challenges with ease, notably defeating Brest 10-0 on aggregate last year en route to winning the competition for the first time. Luis Enrique's response to the prospect of facing the play-offs again seemed pragmatic, as he justified PSG's performance despite a three-match winless streak in Europe. Newcastle remains unbeaten against PSG in their Champions League encounters, and Luis Enrique acknowledged their quality, questioning their status as a Pot Four team. "We could have had better results, but we're here, we're ready, and we'll see who we play against. I'm very demanding of my team, but we have to analyse and look at our schedule," he said. PSG may face Ligue 1 opposition in the next phase, with potential opponents including Monaco or Qarabag, following their 11th-place finish.
