Georgia manager Kachaber Zchadadse has announced his squad for their upcoming European qualifier against Germany on Sunday (18:00 CEST) at the Boris-Paitschadse-National stadium in capital Tbilisi.
The most well-known player is Levan Kenia, who previously played in Germany for FC Schalke 04 and Fortuna Düsseldorf and who now plays for Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic. The most successful Georgia player currently is Jaba Kankava, who advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa League with Ukrainian side Dnipro last week. The 23-man squad is made up of players from 15 different leagues.
Georgia have a slim chance of qualifying for the finals in France in 2016 but they currently sit in fifth place in Group D. Of their four games, they have won one and lost three.
