Guduric confirmed it while talking to the Serbian media.

"I will be able to play the second game, Vasa (Micic) as well," said Guduric. "I don't know about Lucic, I haven't heard from him.It is not realistic to travel [to the game against Great Britain]."

"On Thursday, we play with Zvezda, and on Friday, we play against Great Britain, so... But we will be ready for the second game," Guduric added.

Serbia will face Great Britain on Friday at 8 pm CET, while the game against Turkey will take place on Monday at 8 pm CET.

Guduric also revealed that the training conditions before the upcoming window are not easy.

"Ataman requested that the Turkish championship obligations would be canceled so the Turkish players could go to the camp. They were training with the national team for three or four days, and they joined [our practices] yesterday.

Tomorrow they will play, then go again to the national team. It's not easy for them or us. We remain with 10 players in practice training looks different. I hope that some solution will be found in the future. This is the first time some matches have been postponed due to national teams. It seems like it's a step forward," Guduric concluded.

Currently, Serbia has a 3-3 record and stands in 4th place in Group I. 3 out of 6 teams from the group will qualify for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, which will take place in Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines.
