Sevilla's Giorgi Kochorashvili: Set for late fitness test

Rotowire• ·

Kochorashvili (undisclosed) will undergo a fitness test Saturday to determine his availability for Sunday's La Liga clash against Real Madrid, according to coach Luis Plaza. "He will try tomorrow. He could be on the bench, he could start, or he might not be available at all."

Analysis:

Kochorashvili remains uncertain for Sunday's matchup against Real Madrid after dealing with an undisclosed physical issue throughout the week. The defensive midfielder trained individually Wednesday and remained absent from Friday's team session, although coach Plaza's latest comments suggest he still has a chance of featuring. Saturday's fitness test will determine whether Kochorashvili can start, feature off the bench or miss the contest entirely. The midfielder has started Sevilla's last two league matches and recorded one assist, five chances created, 14 crosses, including four corners, and 11 tackles across six La Liga appearances this season. His potential absence would force Sevilla to adjust their midfield rotation against Madrid.
