On the next day after the win against Alba army men practices on the home court and then went to Domodedovo to fly to Nizhny Novgorod for VTB League game.
“We have maximum respect for the Nizhny Novgorod”, CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “I think they are playing even better now after their recent roster changes. We expect it to be a difficult game, especially taking into account that we have to play without Victor Khryapa and Milos Teodosic. By the way we hope to have both players back for the next Euroleague game. We played a good game against Alba yesterday so we hope to continue playing the same way.”
Khryapa and Teodosic (back) stayed in Moscow to rehabilitate and practice individually.
By the way, Nizhny Novgorod will host two CSKA teams on the same days. Junior teams will play on Saturday and Sunday in the city. CSKA-2 will return home by Transaero charter together with older teammates.
