Barcelona will host Hapoel Tel Aviv in an important matchup in the EuroLeague, but the home team will be forced to play without one of its key frontcourt players.
Tornike Shengelia will not be available for the game after suffering an injury to the soleus muscle in his right calf, as reported by club.
Claim Now The experienced Georgian forward has been an important piece for Barcelona this season, both because of his scoring ability and his presence in the paint, so his absence could be a significant factor for the Spanish side in this matchup.
There is, however, positive news for Barcelona as Dario Brizuela has received medical clearance and will be available to play against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Brizuelaโs return gives Barcelona additional depth in the backcourt and another scoring option as they prepare for a demanding EuroLeague contest.
Barcelona has also included a young prospect in the squad for this game, with Sayon Keita receiving the call-up. The talented youngster could get a valuable opportunity to gain experience at the highest European level if he sees minutes against a competitive Hapoel Tel Aviv team.
This season in the EuroLeague, Shengelia has been one of Barcelonaโs reliable contributors, averaging around 10 points and 4 rebounds per game, while Brizuela has provided energy from the perimeter with approximately 9 points per game, often serving as an important offensive spark off the bench.
Heading into the game, Barcelona and Hapoel Tel Aviv are both fighting for positioning in the playoff of EuroLeague.ย
