Italy international Giorgia Sottana will miss the EuroBasket in Latvia through injury.

The 20-year-old Umana Reyer Venezia point guard ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee during Sunday's final regular-season league game in Italy's top flight, a 65-64 defeat to Cras Basket Taranto.

Sottana underwent surgery on the same knee back in 2005.

"The player will need to undergo surgery and begin rehabilitation," read a statement by Umana Reyer. "It is expected that she will not return to play for at least six months."

Sottana played more than 20 minutes per game this season for Umana Reyer in the EuroLeague Women, helping the club to a first-place finish in the group stage.

She averaged 6.5 points in almost 15 minutes per contest in January during Italy's successful Additional Qualifying Round campaign for this year's EuroBasket in Latvia.
