According to Il Resto del Carlino, both Ojeleye and Shengelia are doubtful for the next EuroLeague's match against Panathinaikos Athens on Wednesday. Head coach Sergio Scariolo also indicated on Sunday that it's unlikely to see the two forwards play during the next game.

It is noted, though, that Ojeleye has a bigger chance of recovering in time from the muscle contusion he suffered in the last EuroLeague match versus Valencia Basket than Shengelia.

Lundberg missed the local game due to illness. However, the guard is expected to play on Wednesday, the outlet reports.

Lundberg and Ojeleye are in the top 3 of all Virtus players by average PIR, Ojeleye is second in rebounds on the team as well.

The game between Virtus and Panathinaikos is scheduled for 20:00 CET on Wednesday.
