Chus Mateo, the Real Madrid coach, said it, and the medical tests have confirmed it. Sergio Llull has an injury to the internal lateral ligament of his left knee, according to the medical tests carried out. The base (35 years and 1.90 m) will be at least between five and eight weeks.
The Spaniard suffered the ailment in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey in Badalona against Valencia. With 5:34 to go before the break and with the score at 31-20 in favor of the Whites, Llull launched himself for a split ball with the misfortune that Klemen Prepelic, the Taronja guard, dropped it while fighting for it. over the knee. As soon as the unfortunate action occurred, the point guard had to leave the field. He would no longer return to action.
At the end of the game, Mateo warned that Llull would surely miss the remainder of a Cup from which Madrid left empty after falling in the next round against Unicaja.
The absence of the Menorcan player against the typesetters was a hard blow for Real, who increased their problems with his loss in a point guard position that was increasingly weakened by the day: Llull’s injury, the long-term one of Alocén is added (more than a year already out) and the frustrated signing of Facundo Campazzo. Sergio RodrÃguez and Nigel Williams-Goss are the only some cigars that Mateo has, who employed Adam Hanga as fake conductor. Abalde, who can also do the same job, was left out of the squad against Unicaja due to a technical decision.
