The flight from Barcelona was delayed for almost two hours: the teammates had to wait for Nando De Colo to pass doping test. The Red-Blues landed in Sheremetyevo at 9 am and took the bus back to the airport at 6.30 pm. The Muscovites arrived in Krasnoyarsk at 4 am local time.
“It will be our fourth away game in a row,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “Enisey is a talented offensive team and for us the energy will be most important factor.”
Demetris Nichols (broken foot) and Victor Khryapa (broken wrist) remain sidelined for CSKA.
