Paris Saint-Germain will have Khvicha Kvaratskhelia available for their Champions League play-off round match against Brest, with the Georgian winger included in Luis Enrique’s squad for the first leg. The 22-year-old is set for his first appearance in the tournament since joining PSG from Napoli in January for €70 million.

PSG will enter the match in strong form after a dominant 4-1 victory over Monaco at the weekend, in which Kvaratskhelia scored his first goal for the club. The winger has featured in four Ligue 1 matches so far, registering a goal and an assist. Due to Napoli’s failure to qualify for the Champions League, he had been unable to participate in the competition before the knockout rounds.

Luis Enrique has named a 20-man squad for the Brest match, with Warren Zaïre-Emery missing out due to injury. Ahead of the Monaco fixture, PSG confirmed contract renewals for their head coach and three key players — Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes. The Spanish head coach’s new deal runs until 2027, while the players have committed to the club until 2029.
