New muscle problem for Theo Maledon in it Real Madrid. A known one. The point guard, a strong bet for the white club’s future, will have to stop a few games to recover from the physical problem he now faces. The ailment is in the adductor longus muscle of the right leg, as publicly reported this Friday.

During the match at Palacio yesterday in front of Monacothat the Madrid resolved single (90-78), Maledon had to retire in the first half and did not participate again. He was on the hardwood for 1:11 minutes and retired to the locker room.. The tests that have been carried out by the medical services have found this injury, which will force him to be absent for a few weeks.

Although the injury itself is not serious, it is not the first time this season that Maledon suffers from this type of strain. In September, his progress between the preseason and the start of the official events was stopped by a similar problem: injury to the adductor brevis muscle in the other leg, the left.

Theo Maledon24 years old, signed in the summer from Villeurbanne, is being one of Scariolo’s usual alternatives in attack in both creative positions. He has responded with numbers: in the League, 9.6 points and 3.5 assists; in the Euroleague, 10.7 in the first and 3.1 in the second.

Time then for Facu Campazzo to take another step forward, Andrés Feliz becomes the replacement at the point guard position and the pieces move at the shooting guard. More minutes for Alberto Abalde and Sergio Llull and more consistent appearances for David Krämer and Gabriele Procida to cover the place left by the buddy.
