Real Madrid faced significant problems following their victory over Fenerbahçe. As announced by the club, Theo Maledon suffered an injury to his right knee, while Michael Jantunen has a complete tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot.
No exact timeline for their absence has been provided, but it is considered highly unlikely that the French guard and the Finnish power forward will be able to play in next Wednesday’s game against Panathinaikos in Madrid. Initial estimates suggest Maledon will be out for at least two weeks and Jantunen for two months.
It should be noted that Real Madrid has been without Gabriel Deck for several months, while Nick Smith Jr. is also dealing with foot discomfort.
