O Real Madrid ficará sem Theo Maledon e Mikael Jantunen depois que o clube confirmou dois novos problemas físicos na esteira da vitória de quinta-feira sobre o Fenerbahce Tarfin no Movistar Arena.
Maledon sofreu uma entorse no joelho direito. Os exames foram feitos na manhã de sexta-feira e o clube informou que a recuperação do armador será monitorada. O francês, de 25 anos, se machucou na 9ª rodada da temporada regular da Euroliga 2026-27 ao aterrissar de forma estranha no primeiro quarto, mas seguiu em quadra e carregou o time para a vitória com 26 pontos e índice de desempenho de 35.
O problema de Jantunen parece pior: o ala finlandês sofreu uma ruptura completa da fáscia plantar do pé esquerdo no segundo período, deixou a quadra antes sem conseguir apoiar o peso e foi direto para o túnel. O técnico Pedro Martinez admitiu aos repórteres que não parecia bom, e o clube confirmou depois a ruptura total.
As duas ausências abalam uma rotação que havia acabado de esticar a série de vitórias para dez partidas em todas as competições, elevando o retrospecto continental para 6-3, e deixam a comissão técnica em busca de alternativas.
Essa busca é complicada por um departamento médico que já conta com Gabriel Deck, Nick Smith Jr. e Usman Garuba.
O Real Madrid recebe o Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos pela Liga Endesa no domingo, antes de retomar a Euroliga contra o Panathinaikos AKTOR na quarta-feira.
