Last night, the Georgian basketball team was without Tornike Šengelia, who will miss the European Championship due to a shoulder injury, and bad luck befell another team that is in the group with Montenegro - Spain.

Spain will be weakened at the upcoming Eurobasket, because Sergio Ljulj will not travel to Georgia due to a muscle injury. The Real basketball player was injured last night in the match against Iceland in the Mundobasket qualifiers and will not be ready for the continental tournament, the Spanish Federation announced. Ljulj played three minutes against Iceland, the injury is not of a serious nature, but it cannot be healed until the start of the continental tournament.

"After the discomfort he experienced yesterday in the match against Iceland, medical examinations were carried out this morning which confirmed that Ljulj suffered a not so serious muscle injury, but it will still prevent him from being part of the team that travels to Tbilisi on August 30. The association wants to thank Sergio Ljulj for his commitment and professionalism and wishes him a speedy recovery and a good start to the season with his club," the Spanish Federation announced.

Spain was convincing against Iceland last night (87:57), and on Saturday, in the continuation of the qualification, they will play against the Netherlands.

At the Eurobasket, apart from Montenegro, "Furija" will play in group A with the selections of Bulgaria, Belgium, Turkey and Georgia.

The match between Montenegro and Spain is scheduled for September 6 at 18.15:XNUMX p.m.
