Kochorashvili could get huge news early in his Sporting days | OneFootball

Due to Hidemasa Morita’s injury, Giorgi Kochorashvili will start for Sporting in the Sporting - Porto match of the fourth round of the National Championship.

Giorgi Kochorashvili will be in the starting lineup for Sporting - Porto, scheduled for next Saturday, August 30. Due to the injury sustained by Hidemasa Morita in the match against Nacional, Rui Borges will be forced to make changes to the Lions’ starting eleven for the upcoming Clássico.

Since the Japanese midfielder began the week working with the Performance Unit of the green and whites, it is highly unlikely he will recover in time for the Clássico and, as a result, the Georgian is expected to make his first start for the Alvalade club against the Dragons.

As for Morita, the truth is that the length of absence for Sporting’s number 5, or even the severity of his injury, remains unknown. However, due to his history, the green and white staff do not intend to risk fielding the player before he is fully recovered.

Sporting and Porto will face off next Saturday, August 30. The fourth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, which marks the first Clássico of the 2025/26 season, is scheduled to kick off at 8:30 pm at Estádio José Alvalade. At this moment, both teams have three wins from three matches played.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Giorgi Kochorashvili - valued at 5 million euros - has played in four matches: all as a used substitute. In the 103 minutes he has played, the ‘number 14’ of the Alvalade club has yet to score a goal or provide an assist.
