Olimpia Milano, coach Messina loses another one

The Greeks also have two important absences
.
Today (2:30 p.m. ball), Olimpia Milano faces Panathinaikos at the Forum. A very delicate challenge for the red-and-whites, coming off two heavy defeats in the Euroleague and called for a feat to stay in the play-off zone. At the moment, the EA7 è 11° with a record of 12 wins and 11 losses.
Panathinaikos è reigning European champions and, in the standings, è far better off: 14-9 its record. The record is not encouraging for Olimpia, which, out of 29 direct confrontations, has won only 10 times. Moreover, Coach Messina, once again, will have to deal with a super-crowded infirmary.
In addition to Nebo, Causeur, Diop and, above all, star Mirotic, Olimpia will not have captain Ricci against Panathinaikos. Problems with a thigh for the Italian who had to raise the white flag. Yet another injury in the red and white house.
Coach Messina, given the many absences in the long department, will be forced to let the LeDay-Gillespie pair play a lot and give minutes to Caruso, already employed in the last league outing against Trieste. On the other side, Pana also has problems in the long department. Lessort and Yurtseven are absent, as well as Grigonis. In short, neither team è at the top, although the list of injuries in the EA7 house è quite long and important.
