Giorgi Gocholeishvili update
F.C. Copenhagen defender Giorgi Gocholeishvili was absent from Thursday's UEFA Conference League match against Real Betis for personal reasons, due to his son being unwell.
Giorgi's son is in hospital and has started treatment with some of the top medical experts in the field.
F.C. Copenhagen is focused on helping and supporting Giorgi and his family in the best possible way during this difficult time. Of course, this also means special consideration will be given to Giorgi, who may be absent for periods of training and/or games.
Giorgi himself has expressed a great desire to be able to continue doing everything for F.C. Copenhagen, and be available as much as possible. He was at Brøndby Stadium on Sunday to support his teammates, despite the difficult situation that he and his family are in.
We are in close dialogue with Georgi and wish his family all the best. Everyone in and around the club would like to send their warmest regards to the Gocholeishvili family, who need time and space right now.
Neither Giorgi nor F.C. Copenhagen will comment further on the situation.
