The worst omens were confirmed with Nihad Djedovic. The Bosnian, fundamental axis in this Unicaja, will be away from the slopes of basket the next eight weeks. Medical tests have confirmed the soleus injury that prevented him from finishing the Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Madrid. A very important drop for Ibon Navarro’s team after winning the title and with their sights set on a very important stretch of the season.
The forward suffered a blow or two during the Copa del Rey, although it was minor. However, when the team from Malaga had the match against Chus Mateo’s men to give them a definitive blow, the Bosnian suffered from a puncture in the leg and had to go to the bench. The coach from Vitoria did not have high hopes for a speedy recovery, his presence in the final was not even considered, and now he loses him for the next two months.
The truth is that it is a low especially sensitive. Nihad Djedovic will miss numerous Endesa League games from now on. For now, his presence in March is ruled out and, if all goes well, he could reach the end of April. What he will not play is the rest of the Round of 16 of the Basketball Champions League and would arrive very just for the last match of the quarterfinals of the competition of the Old Continent. Although everything will depend on the evolution. To which must be added the mismatch in the rotation that Ibon Navarro will have to face from now on.
A hard blow that will have to be reflected on in this rest period that Unicaja is now facing.
