The Real Madrid outsider leaves the Spanish team’s focus due to a hamstring muscle condition, leaving Scariolo without a significant source for his experience and leadership within the group
Major setback for the Spanish basketball team just a week before the start of the Eurobasket. Sergio Llull, one of the national team’s veterans, will miss the major continental tournament through injury. The outsider of Real Madrid had to leave the concentration of the Spanish team because of a muscle disorder in the hamstrings.
It is yet another setback for Sergio Scariolo, who thus loses the second most experienced player of a very young team, after his teammate Rudy Fernández. In this way, the Spanish coach only has to make one layoff and not the two that were planned within the group of 14 players he had left.
The Menorcan player, who has struggled with physical ailments in recent days, arrived at the World Cup qualifier against Iceland in Pamplona, but suffered during the match and was only able to play for a few minutes.
Quino Colom’s previous dismissal and Llull’s injury practically guarantee a place in the Eurobasket for the young Juan Núñez, recently signed by Germany’s ratiopharm Ulm, as the already ex-Madrid player is the only pure point guard next to the nationalized Lorenzo brown. The withdrawal of Sergio Rodríguez as an international, the injury of Ricky Rubio and the injuries of Carlos Alocén and Alberto Abalde prompted the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) to look for an alternative for the American in light of the precarious situation in the management of the game, now exacerbated by the loss of Llull.
