Sturm Graz coach evaluates Otari Keteishvili before Champions League tie with Slovenia's Hart

Sturm Graz head coach Fabian Ingolitsch spoke about midfielder Otari Keteishvili’s fitness ahead of the club’s second-leg qualifying match against Slovenian side Hart. The 30‑year‑old has completed the pre‑season without interruption and was on the bench for the first leg, which Sturm won 4‑0. Ingolitsch said Keteishvili is a key player for the team and one of the best in the Austrian championship, but deciding his workload for the decisive match is “not easy for either of us.” The coach will assess the player after tomorrow’s training session to determine whether he will start or remain a substitute.

The return fixture is scheduled for 22:45 Georgian time in Gori, with Sturm seeking to secure progression after their dominant first‑leg victory.
