First report of the season in Euroleague: Olimpia Milan will not go to Kaunas
Decimated by Covid cases and injuries, Olimpia Milan will not be able to travel to Kaunas on Wednesday in the Euroleague. This is the first report of the 2021-2022 season in the competition.
Since the start of the season, the Euroleague had done everything not to postpone or postpone any match. Finally, the decision was taken to reschedule the meeting between Olimpia Milan and Zalgiris Kaunas scheduled for Wednesday. The Italian club will also miss their home duel against Virtus Bologna scheduled for Sunday, December 26.
According to The Gazzetta dello Sport, Olimpia Milan has six positive Covid-19 cases in its ranks: four players and two staff members. Possible cases must be added the recent injuries of Shavon Shields, Luigi Datome and Sergio Rodriguez. In addition, the health agency of the city of Milan has reportedly imposed on the club that the entire team remains in quarantine and thus does not travel.
This report comes as Real Madrid is also affected, his three French and his coach being in isolation, that Barcelona’s Nigel Hayes, tested positive in Athens, remained in Greece during his quarantine, or that Nanterre, affected in number, will not play again before January in Betclic Elite.
