Virtus Bologna, two returns for Scariolo against Olympiakos

Virtus Bologna will play against Olympiakos in Piraeus

Virtus Bologna is preparing for its Euroleague trip to Piraeus against Olympiakos. Good news for the coach of the Bologna team Sergio Scariolo, who against the Greeks of Mpartzokas will be able to count on the return of two key players in the rotation.

In the match valid for the 12th day of the top continental basketball competition, the Black Vu coach will have Toko Shengelia and Semi Ojeleye available again. The Georgian was out with a sprained ankle while the former Nba player was forced to the pits by a flu syndrome.

The two returns are made even more important by the absence through disqualification of Milos Teodosic, who already missed the game against Red Star.

Last season, Virtus Bologna saw confirmation of the Scudetto it 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 the Turkish Bursaspor. This success gave Scariolo’s men a pass for the 2022-23 Euroleague season, a competition the Bolognese had not participated in for 14 years.
