Virtus Segafredo Bologna are gearing up to take on Zalgiris in the EuroLeague Round 30 match in Kaunas, but they'll be doing so without three key players.

Daniel Hackett and Isaia Cordinier didn't make the trip with the Italian squad to Lithuania. This compounds the absence of Devontae Cacok, who's already sidelined for the season due to a serious knee injury.

According to the team's announcement, Cordinier is sidelined due to a sprained right ankle sustained in their recent domestic league clash against Pesaro. His condition will be assessed daily. Meanwhile, Hackett is dealing with a knee problem.

Both Hackett and Cordinier's availability for the subsequent EuroLeague double-header against Crvena Zvezda remains uncertain.

Hackett has been averaging 8.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 11.5 PIR per game, but he's missed the last two EuroLeague outings. On the other hand, Cordinier has been contributing 9.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 11.0 PIR.

Virtus will clash with Zalgiris away on Tuesday at 19:00 CET, followed by a game against Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade on Friday at 19:00 CET.
