Nikolay Penchev will definitely travel to Burgas. The former national player, who underwent an emergency appendectomy, is already training hard and will come in to help with reception. At the opposite hitter position, the team will mainly rely on Strahinja Brzakovic, as well as Lyubo Simeonov after Parapunov's move to the Polish SKRA.
