Basketball coach Alex Mumbru will be missing at the start of the European Championship in Finland due to illness. As a precaution, the Spaniard was taken to the hospital in Finnish Tampere on Monday for an “acute infection”, as the German Basketball Bund (DBB) announced. “There he is treated inpatient, now he is doing much better,” it said. The association did not give details.
Mumbru cannot be there against Montenegro on Wednesday (3:30 p.m./RTL and Magenta Sport). The German team around captain Dennis Schröder is to lead his assistant Alan Ibrahimagic for the European Championship start. The World Association Fiba had previously announced that Mumbru could not take part in the press conference in the evening. In the 95: 78 victory in the last friendly against his home country Spain, Mumbru was still on the sidelines on Saturday.
First tournament for Mumbru
Mumbru was no longer there during the first training in Finnish Tampere on Monday. Schröder and his teammates recorded a video with recovery wishes and sent it to the 46-year-old. It is the first tournament with Germany for the Spaniard Mumbru. He competes with the heavy legacy of world champion coach Gordon Herbert.
