Sports update: Fabinho discusses Palma Futsal continuity and Unicaja roster changes

In futsal, Fabinho of Illes Balears Palma Futsal expressed optimism regarding the team's preparation for the upcoming season. He noted that maintaining much of the previous squad provides a competitive advantage, as the group is already cohesive compared to previous years involving significant roster changes. The team is set to face Sporting in the XIV Torneig Ciutat de Manacor – Memorial Miquel Jaume, which Fabinho described as a major test of their current level.

In basketball, Unicaja faces roster challenges during the FIBA World Cup qualifying window. Several international players, including Amine Noua (France), Melwin Pantzar (Sweden), and Willy Hernangómez (Spain), are away on national team duties. Additionally, Lithuanian-German player Simonas Lukosius was not selected for Germany's squad. This absence may benefit Unicaja, as Lukosius is nearing a finalized move to the club, which could allow him to integrate with the team and coach Txus Vidorreta sooner.
