Giorgi Popkhadze, left defender of Austrian “Sturm”, returned to the main staff of the team in the lost match against “Lokomotive” (1:3) at Europa League.

Popkhadze could not participate in the matches of “Sturm” due to injury. Franco Foda let him play against “Lokomotive”. Georgian defender played for the whole match and received yellow card at the second added time of the first half. “Sturm” has 3 points and lost a chance of going through the next round.

It seems, Vladimer Dvalishvili, forward of Georgian national football team, and management of “Maccabi” Haifa found common language. Dvalishvili was in the main staff three times in a row. He played for the whole match against Cypriot AEK (1:2). “Haifa” has 5 points and is in the second place.
