Mumbru has returned.
The Basketball EM's round of 16 game between Spain and Portugal will be broadcast on RTL and Magentasport, with the event taking place in Riga, Latvia on Saturday at 14.15 CET.
National coach Alex Mumbru is making a comeback to the sidelines after recovering from a stomach ailment that hospitalized him in Tampere last Monday. Mumbru's return to training took place on Thursday. However, the exact role he will play in the game has not been determined and will be decided after a conversation with the medical department on game day.
If Mumbru is not fully fit for the match, his assistant, Alan Ibrahimagic, is prepared to take over the main responsibility. Ibrahimagic led the German team in the preliminary round and guided them to five wins in five games. He is confirmed to step in as game-day head coach if Mumbru is unable to lead due to health reasons, with the final decision to be made in consultation with the medical staff on game day.
In Mumbru's absence, the conversation regarding his role in the game against Portugal will take place with the medical department on game day. The game's outcome could significantly impact both teams, as Spain aims to continue their strong performance in the tournament, while Portugal looks to secure an upset victory.
The Basketball EM, Europe's premier basketball tournament, has seen intense competition so far, and this game between Spain and Portugal is no exception. Fans can catch the action live on RTL and Magentasport, with the game's suspense building up as we approach Saturday's clash in Riga, Latvia.
