Jan Vesely, one of Barça's struts and leader of the Barca team in the first months of last season, ended up 'missing' at the culminating moment of the campaign and His absence did a lot of damage to the team that ran out of his participation Coperaat the doors of the Final Four and could not present battle in the Play-Offs of the Endesa League.
Jan Vesely has a contract for one more season after having demonstrated his worth and experience that brought him to Barça after his passage with the party (2008-2011), his stage in the NBA (2011-14) and His successful experience in Fenerbahçe where he could lift the Euroleague in 2017.
Barça did not hesitate to sign the pivot of Ostrava (1990) that has become from the beginning an important player, marking the difference in the first two years and in the last campaign, The excess minutaje in the first months ended up taking its toll in its physique that in February practically said enough.
A long absence … and relapse
Before the cupo tournament, Barça announced that the player suffered an important knee injury that would force him to “between eight and 10 weeks”. After lost 11 days of Euroleague and nine of Endesa League, he returned in the decisive match against Virtus and a couple of Endesa League matches.
But his physique did not endure and a prolonged low back pain took him out of the team and left the team without a reliable pivot After the devastating Chimezie Metu injury, and depending on an irregular Willy Hernangómez and Youssoupha Fall. Since then, and with the ending season, it is not known the current state of the player who has passed recent medical controls.

The big question is whether this Barça can trust the Czech in a new campaign that presents itself even harder, especially in the Euroleague with 20 sets in competition and more meetings, and if Vesely can answer the challenge of playing at the highest level each game.
Of course, His injuries do not invite optimism although we will have to verify how he returns from his problems And with the help of the whole summer ahead to recover, the idea is that it remains a reference in the interior Blaugrana game.
