Spar Girona hosts Fenerbahçe tonight at Fontajau for their final home game of the European season, facing significant physical challenges and squad rotations.

Head coach Roberto Íñiguez has warned about the team's fatigue ahead of this EuroLeague play-in match. With key players like captain Marta Canella and Coulibaly sidelined, the technical staff has struggled to even complete full five-on-five training sessions, occasionally requiring physical trainer Anna Jòdar to step onto the court.

"If the team is a bus, and I am the driver, I will not make it crash."

Despite having already secured a spot in the final 6, the Girona side faces a tough challenge against the tournament favorites. The team's focus will soon shift back to the domestic league, where they currently sit at the top of the standings alongside Zaragoza before the upcoming FIBA break.
