Tornike Shengelia has started to work out in Italy as he's aiming to return to action as soon as possible for Virtus Segafredo Bologna.

The experienced power forward injured his shoulder before the EuroBasket 2022 in FIBA World Cup 2023 qualification game against the Netherlands.

It is believed that Shengelia will miss approximately two months of action.

Virtus uploaded photos of Shengelia picking up the pace in his exercises, with the aim of being ready as soon as possible.

After joining Virtus in the midseason, Shengelia became the EuroCup champions together with the club, which earned them a spot in the upcoming EuroLeague season.
