The Girona squad, led by Roberto Íñiguez, arrives at this important clash after several challenging weeks marked by physical issues affecting several players. However, the convincing victory achieved last Wednesday against Estudiantes has boosted the team's morale, as they need to continue winning to maintain their advantageous position in the standings.
Today's opponent, Ensino, has been one of the season's revelations, currently holding sixth place with a record of 14 wins and 13 losses. A victory for Spar Girona in this encounter would definitively secure second place, a prospect further aided by Valencia's defeat yesterday against IDK by 69-57.
Injuries continue to be a headache for the team, especially since the last FIBA break. For today's game, Íñiguez will not be able to count on Canella or Carter. The coach confirmed the absence of both players, stating that Carter's return will depend on her recovery progress.
“"At home, they compete with great determination and have a very clear philosophy."
Despite the adversities, there is positive news regarding the recovery of Quevedo and Bibby, who are progressing favorably. Íñiguez has expressed hope that Quevedo can contribute to the team, while Bibby might get minutes if her knee responds well. This recovery would be crucial not only for today's match but also for the EuroLeague Final Six, which will begin next week with the confrontation against Venice.
