Virtus Bologna, the verdict on Shengelia’s injury

The verdict on Shengelia

Sigh of relief at Virtus Bologna. Toko Shengelia in fact, after the injury suffered in the match between his Georgia and Holland, will not have to undergo surgery on his shoulder.

The 1991 class long will therefore have to stay away from the court for an estimated time of about two months, in which Sergio Scariolo will be able to take advantage of the Felsinei’s ample rotations to make the weight of the Georgian’s absence felt, as little as possible.

The recovery table points to October as the month of return, then it will be time for the bianconeri club to discuss the renewal with Shengelia. The former Baskonia and CSKA Moscow player arrived in Emilia in January 2022 and immediately made an important contribution to the Vu Nere’s cause.

Last season, Virtus Bologna saw the confirmation of the Scudetto won in 2021 slip away only in the playoff final, lost 4-2 to Olimpia Milano. The highlight of the Felsinians’ year, however, came on May 11, with the conquest of the Eurocup, won in the final against Turkey’s Bursaspor. This success gave Scariolo’s men a pass for the 2022-23 Euroleague season, a competition in which the Bolognese have not participated for 14 years.
