Bartzokas: “Koponen may be back next week”

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The pre-game press conference of Barcelona’s coach Giorgos Bartzokas before the game against Fenerbahce had some big and really good news to offer.

Petteri Koponen is expected to be soon back on the court, as the Greek coach stated: “Today Petteri Koponen started training with the rest of the team. This was his first contact training, so it is a matter of days for him to return to action and maybe in a week he will be playing again”.

Still the questions about the injury woes of the team remain: “It’s a difficult moment because of many injuries. It is difficult to train. Navarro and Ribas will not play against Fenerbahce. We will have 5 games in 10 days. You get tired just thinking about it. Both for the coaches and the players it’s very complicated, we talk daily about it”.

However now the game against Fenerbahce is the priority: “I’m happy with the squad I have. We always have an eye on the market, but we are now focused on Fenerbahce. Every game is important but Fenerbahce is a team with quality, a great coach and we have to be concentrated for 40 minutes in order to win”.
