Centers Viktor Bodurov and Aleksandar Nikolov will not start the second half of the season with Dobrudzha, volleyweek.bg understood. Both play on loan, one from Slavia, the other from Loko Avia. The probable reason is unpaid amounts for their transfers. The Plovdiv team has two more volleyball players who are part of the Dobrich squad, but they will not leave the team.
The silver medalist from the European Championship for men up to 20 years old and bronze medalist from the 2023 World Championship, Nikolov, could strengthen Lokomotiv as early as the Bulgarian Cup tournament.
The arbitration commission of the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation (BVF), which has already received a copy of the player's loan agreement, will have the final say on the "Bodurov case". Only after that will the "whites'" center seek opportunities in another club.
Meanwhile, in an interview withdobrudjabg.comDobrudzha's head coach Dimitar Marinkov identified finding a new opposite hitter as the main task, after the departure of the experienced Miroslav Gradinarov. He received a good offer from Austria and we couldn't stop him. In the match against CSKA, his absence weighed heavily on us, the coach admitted. He believes that Viktor Bodurov, who played in that match in this position, performed well, but his absence in the center was felt. That's why we are looking for options for the opposite hitter position, Marinkov said.
