The Georgia international was not part of PSG's squad as it beat Lens 2-1 last weekend and was ineligible for its  4-2 UEFA Champions League win over Manchester City inmidweek.

But exactly one week after completing his €70 million ($116.5 million) transfer from Napoli, Kvaratskhelia was declared available at Luis Enrique's pre-match press conference.

"Physically, he is in great shape. We have seen that during training. He is adapting well, and I think he is ready," Luis Enrique said.

"When we recruit a player, it's because we believe he can help the team improve.

"What's important is that he's with us and he sees what we ask of the team's players. We've analysed his characteristics, which are compatible with our game.

"To score from distance, you need the shot of Kvaratskhelia, Marco Asensio, or Vitinha. All the players' abilities are welcome. We know him well, we already wanted him last season."

Kvaratskhelia signed for Napoli in 2022 and was named Serie A's 2022-2023 player of the season after helping the Partenopei win their first Scudetto in 33 years, scoring 12 goals and providing 13 assists across 34 games.

Asked if Kvaratskhelia would be in competition with 22-year-old Bradley Barcola, who also plays on the left wing and has scored 13 goals and registered five assists this season, Luis Enrique said the pair could play together.

"I can create any type of combination with the seven attacking players. All combinations are possible, as are their synergies," he added.

PSG is unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season and holds a nine-point lead at the top with 46 points. Opponent Reims is 13th with 21 points, but did hold the defending champion to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in September.

Luis Enrique's side, which goes to Germany for a vital UEFA Champions League game against Stuttgart four days after playing Reims,s face a packed schedule with three games in eight days.

"We need to be strong both physically and mentally as we are playing every three days," he said.

"Reims are not in a very good period, but they are surely very motivated, so we need to maintain our rhythm to secure all three points."
