Barcelona visit promises interesting game. It will be difficlut for our team, plagued by injuries, so the help from the stands is necessary.

Nando De Colo and Milos Teodosic missed previous games for the Army Men, Cory Higgins rested agaisnt VEF Riga, Pavel Korobkov continues rehab after knee surgery. The lineup for Barcelona game will be formed on the game day.

“We expect a tough game, we need our fans to come. Barcelona is a good team,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “They had injury problems, but they added replacement players, then got their players back, including Navarro. They are very dangerous. Unfortunately we are in a situation where we have some important players out, but we also have players who realize that they have to go there and fight. We will go and fight and hope that our fans will help us with that.”
