Maccabi Tel Aviv held its last training session today (Wednesday) ahead of the flight to Russia for tomorrow's game against CSKA Moscow in the second round of the Euroleague (Thursday, 20:00).
The injured Yuval Sussman, John Dibertolomeo and Omri Caspi will not yet be available for the professional team, and the team hopes that in the coming weeks the three will begin to gradually return to activity.
Coach Yannis Sapropoulos said: "This is our first away game in the Euroleague since March and we are very excited. It is not an easy ride, and we are happy to travel and play, and on the other hand we think of all the risks. I want to thank our owners who organize our trips in a safe way. So we can keep playing. "
"We know that CSKA is a very strong team," the Greek continued, "every season they are candidates to reach the Final Four.
It's true that their three players will not play tomorrow because of the Corona and it is not easy for any team to lose three players, but they still have a great squad and good players and we have to be prepared.
We had time to work and practice and we travel to Moscow to fight for our chances and play our game.
"We are constantly thinking about how to stay healthy. We know they will do everything to stay healthy as we do everything to keep the rivals who come to Tel Aviv healthy. This issue will be part of every game and every year, but in the end we have to play and win. Because of all "I think it's very difficult to predict what the results of this season will be."
