Kvaratskhelia trains alone before opening game of PSG's UCL title defense

Paris Saint-Germain's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains a doubt for the holders' midweek Champions League game at home against Atlanta with the forward training separately from his teammates on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old Georgian injured himself in Sunday's 2-0 win over Lens but has not been included in the club's official medical update, meaning his presence on Wednesday remains possible, according to a source close to the squad.

The reigning European champions' sporting advisor, Luis Campos, had expressed his "optimism" about the Georgian's participation on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Ballon d'Or favourite Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, injured playing for France during the international break, are "continuing their treatment," the club said, while Lucas Beraldo, injured against Lens "remains in treatment due to a sprained ankle".

Striker Lee Kang-in, who also came off against Lens, was in training without any apparent discomfort.
