MORE THAN HALF THE TEAM ABSENT: Headaches for Pešić before the match with Finland, here’s who took over the captain’s armband!

Svetislav Pešić, the coach of the Serbian national basketball team, has not yet decided which players will travel to Finland for the European Championship qualifying match.

For now, it is known who will not be able to perform.

Pešić has a lot of headaches, so Nikola Milutinov is injured and Serbia will not be able to count on him.

Ognjen Dobrić and Marko Gudurić are currently undergoing therapies and they will not travel to Finland, but the coach hopes that they could perform against Georgia in Belgrade.

Aleksej Pokuševski injured his shoulder and the selection will not be able to count on him.

Filip Petrušev got some more free time because he had private obligations. He will join the team on Tuesday evening.

Stefan Jović is the temporary captain of Serbia in this national team window, and even he spoke about it with a smile. He only borrowed the armband from his best man, Bogdan Bogdanović.

“I borrowed Bogdan’s captain’s armband and I will gladly return it to him,” Jović said with a smile during the interview.

The Serbian national team plays against Finland on Friday in the “Espo Metro Arena” (5.30 PM), and three days later they will host Georgia in the “Aleksandar Nikolić” hall from 8.00 PM.

The European Championship is held from August 27 to September 14 in Latvia, Finland, Poland and Cyprus.
