Barça will be without Tosan Evbuomwan to start preseason. The British forward sustained a left shoulder subluxation during Sunday's game with Great Britain and will be sidelined for around three weeks on a rehabilitation programme with a reevaluation after that period, an estimate published by Eurohoops and SPORT — Baloncesto following the club's medical update.

Diagnosis and timeline

The injury occurred during the qualifying window with Great Britain and was communicated by the Catalan club just days after the start of preseason work. The medical report notes a left shoulder subluxation, conservative treatment and a new assessment in three weeks.

Schedule to miss

The timeframe rules the player out for virtually the entire month of September, including the Endesa Super Cup scheduled for 19-20 September in Badalona. That also makes his availability for the start of the Liga Endesa 2026/27 and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague highly unlikely.

Sporting impact for Sekulic's Barça

It is the first absence of Sekulic's new project and affects a signing expected to add versatility on the wing. Without Evbuomwan, the coaching staff will need to redistribute minutes on the perimeter during the Andorra training camp.
