Gabriel Deck will miss at least the next two games for Real Madrid due to ongoing pain in his left shoulder, head coach Pedro Martínez announced ahead of upcoming domestic and continental fixtures.
Shoulder Injury Sidelines Deck for Partizan and Manresa Clashes
Real Madrid forward Gabriel Deck is sidelined for upcoming fixtures against Partizan in the EuroLeague and Kids&Us Manresa in the Liga Endesa, as confirmed by coach Pedro Martínez. Martínez addressed the media prior to the European fixture, stating that the Argentine player sustained an injury that keeps him out of action while the club awaits further medical evaluations. Gaby Deck ayer tuvo una lesión. No va a jugar esta semana seguro; ni el partido de mañana ni el partido del fin de semana, y estamos a expensas de unas pruebas que le harán hoy o mañana para saber el alcance real y cuánto tiempo estará fuera,
Martínez told reporters.
Medical Staff Pause Forward After FIBA Window Complications
The current physical trouble stems from a left shoulder injury originally suffered while Deck was playing for the Argentina national team during the FIBA window held in late August and early September. The player previously experienced a shoulder dislocation during the opening match against Puerto Rico. Despite the discomfort, Deck returned to the floor for a subsequent game against Canada, where he aggravated the joint. Club medical staff have now intervened to halt his participation pending diagnostic tests to determine the precise extent of the damage and a projected recovery timeline.
Real Madrid Adjusts Rotation for Upcoming Matches
The absence forces Real Madrid to adjust its rotation for the fourth round of the EuroLeague regular season against Partizan and the domestic league meeting with Manresa. Martínez noted that while the initial assessment does not suggest a severe long-term absence, the club refuses to speculate until clinical imaging provides clarity.
