Aris: Good news for Spanoulis - Two return to practice

Aris' preparation for the match against Riga Zeli continues with two significant returns. Matt Morgan and Lefteris Bochoridis participated normally in practice and were made available to Vassilis Spanoulis.

The "yellow and blacks" host the Latvian team on Wednesday (11/11, 20:00) at Nick Galis Hall, for the 7th matchday of the EuroCup. Their goal is to immediately return to European victories, after their first defeat this season against Hapoel Jerusalem.

Returned to practice

Morgan has overcome the sprain he suffered in the game against Hapoel and has a good chance of being in the twelve-man squad. His participation and playing time are expected to be decided by Spanoulis, as the American guard is returning from an absence.

Bochoridis also joined the regular program, returning after about three weeks and the appendectomy he had undergone. Aris' captain also needs careful management until he gains full match fitness.

In contrast, Vassilis Charalampopoulos and Giorgos Tanoulis remain out, continuing their rehabilitation programs.

The derby with Olympiacos follows

After the European match, Aris will remain in Thessaloniki for another particularly demanding commitment. On Sunday (15/11, 17:30) they host Olympiacos at Nick Galis Hall, for the 7th matchday of the Stoiximan GBL.

Spanoulis' team is in second place in the championship with a 5-1 record, while the "red and whites" remain undefeated after six games. The returns of Morgan and Bochoridis expand the available options ahead of two consecutive and demanding home matches.
