Hours before Real Madrid face CSKA Moscow (20:45, Dazn), the white club announced a new positive, that of Adam Hanga, so it is reduced to five (plus the doubt of Rudy Fernández), the available players that Chus Mateo will have in the Euroleague match. These are Williams-Goss, Walter Tavares (sole pivot), Sergio Lull, Jeff Taylor and Tristan Vukcevic. In addition, three players from the junior team will sit on the bench: Urban Klavzar, Sediq Garuba, and Baba Miller.
Last Tuesday, before taking on Alba Berlin, Madrid reported that Pablo Laso and Thomas Heurtel would not be in this match due to COVID. The trickle of positives since then has been constant. On Sunday, in the run-up to the ACB match against Murcia, the club announced the contagion of Fabien Causeur and one day after this game that of Vincent Poirier. On Tuesday, Madrid communicated three positives at the last minute: Anthony Randolph, Juan Núñez and Guerschon Yabusele and this Thursday the last, so far, that of Adam hanga. Also, they are injured Alberto Abalde, Carlos Alocén and Trey Thompkins.
The Euroleague regulations establish that matches in which a team does not have eight available players will be postponed (Madrid would currently have all eight plus the doubt of Rudy Fernández) or that health authorities determine the isolation of players in the event of an outbreak, something that has not happened.
The Zalgiris-Armani Milan of this day was postponed because the Italian team (Real Madrid’s last rival in the Euroleague) had recorded six cases and the health authorities force a quarantine in the case of a positive within the team. The Community of Madrid, for now, has not determined this, although there are already eight positives in the last nine days.
