Olympiakos will be left without the services of Kostas Papanikolaou in the match against Zalgiris (14/10, 21:00) of the second round of the Euroleague. The Piraeus captain is still suffering from a problem with his right knee (patellar tendonitis) that leaves him no time to compete.
Kostas Papanicolaou also did not participate in the match against Apollon Patras for the premiere of the Basket League championship. Giorgos Bartzokas also confirmed the absence of an experienced striker in the match with the Lithuanians.
The Piraeus coach expressed optimism about the participation of Boloboy and Kanaan. “Papanicolaou has no time to play, as for the other two who had problems, I hope they will compete,” said Giorgos Bartzokas at the Olympiakos media day before Friday’s match.
The team of Yorgos Bartzokas is aiming for a second victory in the Euroleague. We remind you that Olympiacos beat Barcelona in Spain with a score of 80:70 at the premiere of the competition.
