Barcelona faces significant injury crisis ahead of EuroLeague clash against Panathinaikos

FC Barcelona is facing a severe injury crisis ahead of their upcoming EuroLeague round 11 match against Panathinaikos, scheduled for November 13, 2026, at 21:15 at the Telekom Center in Athens.

The most significant blow to the Catalan side is the injury of American guard Kevin Punter, who suffered an ankle sprain during a recent Liga Endesa match against Breogan. Medical examinations confirmed he will be sidelined for three weeks, ruling him out of the upcoming encounter and subsequent fixtures against Paris (November 17), Crvena Zvezda (November 20), and Fenerbahce (November 24).

In addition to Punter, Barcelona's roster is depleted by several other physical setbacks. Yvan Makoundou is confirmed to be out with a knee injury. Meanwhile, Tosan Evbuomwan is suffering from a rib injury, while Juan Nunez and Umoja Gibson remain doubtful for the Athens trip due to ankle and knee issues respectively, leaving coach and staff with limited rotations for the upcoming European schedule.
