Poeta: Booker's injury is serious, we are looking for a wing in the transfer market

Olimpia Milano returned to winning ways by beating Cantù, ending a run of four consecutive defeats. Coach Peppe Poeta said his side played three quarters at a high level in the game and that winning a derby is always special.

On Devin Booker's injury, Poeta said it is quite serious and will keep him out for a long time. Regarding transfer work, he said the management is handling the player profile and that he has full confidence the club will bring in suitable names. The type of player they are seeking is a wing who can contribute to the team.

Poeta's main priority, however, is to rebuild players who have not been able to show the expected performance. He stressed that regaining the confidence and leadership of Guduric, Peters and Thompson will determine the course of the season. He said they want Thompson to play more aggressively and that they are aiming for him to return to the level he showed in previous seasons.

With the win, Olimpia Milano moved to within two points of Virtus, Treviso and Napoli, who are competing for the lead.
