Milano head coach Ettore Messina spoke about the condition of certain first-team players ahead of the upcoming challenges facing the Italian squad.
Ettore Messina addressed the status of Nikola Mirotic and Shabazz Napier in particular.
“Mirotic had to undergo treatments to regain energy and weight loss after suffering from an intense virus. Napier is dealing with foot problems and barely started walking again yesterday,” highlighted Messina.
Before the game against Varese, the Italian coach couldn’t count on two more players.
“Diego Flaccadori was in the squad but couldn’t play. Stefano Tonut sustained an ankle injury with the national team, which worsened, so he will need to rest for a few more days,” Messina noted.
It remains to be seen who will be ready to face Partizan in the next round of the EuroLeague. The game is scheduled for Friday at 20:30 in Milano.
