Olimpia Milano: Peppe Poeta counts the injured, there is one more

L’Olimpia beat Panathinaikos. A prestigious victory that confirms that the team, although affected by many injuries, has heart and talent. Unfortunately, even in the victorious showdown against Ataman’s team, a new injury arrived.

Bolmaro was forced to leave the parquet floor. Talk of yet another muscle injury: “Too bad only for the injury of Leandro (Bolmaro, ed.), the only discordant note. He felt pulling the adductor, we will have to do the classic checks”, the words of coach Poeta in the press room in the post-game of the challenge with Panathinaikos.

As if that wasn’t enough, bad news also came about Tonut and Toté: “Tonut will have it for a while, we don’t know the timing, but he contracted a boring virus. Toté we hope to recover him, he is stuck with his back”.

In short, for the challenge with Virtus Bologna, scheduled for Sunday at the Forum, coach Poeta will, once again, have his men counted. The list of injured is very long: Mannion, Diop, Brown, Sestina, Flaccadori, Tonut, Toté and, indeed, Bolmaro. Impressive is the number of guards who are currently in the pits. The’only one who can be drafted is Ellis who is working classic overtime.
