Olympiacos Piraeus are dealing with injuries right from the start of the season, as the Greek club announced that four players have health problems.

The list includes Shaquielle McKissic, Nigel Williams-Goss, Luke Sikma, and Moustapha Fall.

McKissic is expected to miss 3-4 weeks of action as he suffers from bone swelling in the femoral trochlea (knee) and damage to the quadriceps tendon from a fall in the derby against Panathinaikos.

Meanwhile, Sikma will be out for two weeks with a calf injury he suffered in the Greek League game against Aris Thessaloniki.

Williams-Goss struggles with a left biceps muscle spasm, while Fall continues the work on the individual program as he's dealing with a right knee problem.

Williams-Goss and Fall are considered doubtful to participate in the upcoming EuroLeague matchup against FC Barcelona on Friday.

Ignas Brazdeikis will be registered for the Greek League roster and take one of the foreign players' spots.
