EuroLeague Matchday 8 kicks off this Tuesday with several new faces in team rosters and a mixed injury report. Some teams arrive with full squads, like Crvena Zvezda and Hapoel Tel Aviv, while others face mounting problems, such as Olympiacos and Anadolu Efes. Here are the updates for all twenty teams, game by game.
Spanish Teams
Bayern Munich-Barcelona (Tuesday, 20:00). Barcelona recovers Darío Brizuela, who missed Matchday 7 due to muscle soreness and already played over the weekend in the Liga Endesa. Justin Minaya returned last week. The only absence remains Yoan Makoundou, who has yet to debut this season while recovering from a knee injury. Bayern has not yet submitted its report; Miles Norris and Justus Hollatz were not included in Matchday 7's roster but played in the German league.
Valencia Basket-Fenerbahçe (Tuesday, 20:30). Xavi Albert only loses Nate Reuvers, sidelined by a foot injury, for the matchup against the second-place team. The Valencia coach had his full squad available last week, as did Sarunas Jasikevicius at Fenerbahçe, who has yet to submit their report.
Baskonia-Real Madrid (Tuesday, 21:00). Neither team has submitted their report. At Baskonia, Kobi Simmons and Chris Duarte did not play in Matchday 7, and Markus Howard officially left the club on October 14. At Real Madrid, Gaby Deck remains sidelined, out since Matchday 3 with a shoulder injury that, according to head coach Pedro Martínez, is "more serious than we thought." Usman Garuba continues recovering from the Achilles tendon injury he suffered at the Final Four in May. Olivier Sarr has not played since Matchday 1, and neither Sergio Llull nor Max Shulga have debuted in the EuroLeague this season.
