Olimpia Milano: injury nightmare returns, fans already alarmed
In the red and white house they have said it over and over again. The main goal for this (long) season is to be healthy physically. Last year Olimpia had to deal with an endless list of injuries that, in fact, prevented it from being competitive when the most important games had to be played.
At the end of the challenge lost, in the photo finish, with Partizan Belgrade, there’s concern in the red and white club’s medical staff. Particularly over Shields’ condition. The AX co-captain, in the final minutes of the game, felt discomfort in his groin and sat on the bench, never returning to the court. Test results are awaited to learn more.
Shields but not only. Nebo, who was forced last year to miss, in fact, the entire season, also felt a stiffening in his thigh. He will be evaluated carefully as well. It should be remembered that Brown is already out of action due to a problem he had during the Italian Super Cup weekend.
Clearly, Coach Messina, as well as all Red and White fans, are already on high alert. No one wants to relive the nightmare of last season when Olimpia Milano’s infirmary was always super crowded. Meanwhile, on Sunday afternoon, the AX will take the court again. Derthona arrives at the Forum for the first day of the LBA regular season.
