Bad news for University of Craiova. Two core players were injured in the national teams and will not play again this year. It is about Carlos Mora (24 years old), far right, and Anzor Mekvabishvili (24 years old), central midfielder.

Anzor played 71 minutes for Georgia in their 0-4 defeat at home to Spain in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. He was replaced by Georgiy Tsitaishvili after suffering an injury.

He suffered a muscle tear in his thigh and will be absent for the next 5-6 weeks, according to fanatik.ro.

Trouble for Filipe Coelho, the new coach of Craiova: Mora and Mekvabishvili are injured

There is no peace in Craiova after Mirel Rădoi (44 years old). The Portuguese Filipe Coelho (45 years old), the new head coach, had a few days to get to know the players, but from the start he will not be able to count on two of them.

And Mora suffered a similar injury and will not play again this year. He played 32 minutes in the failure of the Costa Rica national team on the field of Haiti, 0-1, in the preliminaries of the World Championship.

He was removed from the squad for the match at home against Honduras, scheduled for November 19. It is the second blow that the Oltenians receive in the right lane, after Mihnea Rădulescu (20 years old), the main U21 solution, suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligament.

Mora and Mekvabishvili would be recovered by the end of the year and start winter training.

Georgia, Anzor's national team, played Bulgaria away on November 18, but the game no longer has a real stake.
Tudor Băluță or Alexandru Crețu can play for the Georgian.

Mora played 19 matches for Craiova University this season, during which he scored 3 goals and provided 3 decisive assists. He is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at one million euros.

Instead, Anzor 21 games, during which he scored a goal and gave 7 decisive assists. He is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at 1.5 million euros.
