The famous Belgrade club arrived in Sarajevo visibly weakened by the non-play of its best basketball player, Duane Washington.
During training, he reported pain in the upper part of the calf, so he was referred for additional examinations. Apart from him, the guests will not be able to count on national team member Vanja Marinković either.
Ahead of the match in Sarajevo, the coach of Partizan said that he expects a difficult game, because Bosnia plays well on their home ground and they can be a difficult opponent.
– In the last few days, we did not train with the full squad. We will have to play a quality game, first of all firmly in defense, and in attack to be patient and play as a team in order to achieve this important victory – said Peñaroja.
Aleksa Radanov also spoke about expectations before the game. He said that they must enter the game with maximum focus.
– We had a long break, since we didn’t play for almost a week, so we have to be concentrated during the entire match and play it as well as possible. In the coming month, a large number of matches await us, including two double rounds in the Euroleague, so it is important that we play this match very well in order to start that period in the right way – pointed out Radanov.
Tickets for the match in Zetra have long been sold out and there is no doubt that we are in for a spectacle.
