Olympiacos faces player injury setbacks ahead of EuroLeague match

Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas faces significant roster challenges following reports of injuries to two key players ahead of the EuroLeague seventh-round game against Fenerbahce, scheduled for Friday, October 23, at 21:15 at the Sunel Arena.

French player Evan Fournier is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks after being diagnosed with a hematoma on his left shoulder and a medial collateral ligament strain in his right knee. This injury will keep him out of team obligations for roughly 20 days. Meanwhile, Dominican guard Jean Montero is currently undergoing medical treatment for discomfort in his ankle and knee. His availability for the Fenerbahce match remains uncertain, with his status being reassessed on a daily basis. Montero previously played in last week's matches against Valencia and Barcelona but missed the game against Vikos Falcons in Ioannina due to these physical issues.

The team is now adjusting its tactical plans while managing these health setbacks, with staff monitoring Montero’s recovery closely to determine if he can participate in the upcoming European clash.
