Antonina Zetova called Vuchkova, Dimitrova, Kitipova and Vasileva, without Barakova and Kyoseva, Paskova is questionable

Our volleyball stars Elitsa Anastasievich, Hristina Vuchkova, Nasya Dimitrova, and Lora Kitipova will once again be members of the Bulgarian national team.The new coach Antonina Zetova sent call-ups to them for the upcoming participation in the Nations League and the World Championship. Under the previous coach Lorenzo Micelli, none of them were in the squad.

Miroslava Paskova officially informed the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation that she is scheduled for ankle surgery on April 25.The recovery will likely take longer, and she will not be able to participate in the upcoming tournaments. Paskova will send the full epicrisis and treatment plan to the federation. We will also not see Gergana Kyoseva. Petya Barakova will also not be present.

The analyst Gabriele Antola remains in the coaching staffwho also worked with Micelli.

"I wish success to all the girls and most importantly, that they are healthy," said Lubomir Ganev, president of the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation. "We have a very important summer ahead of us and I am sure we will perform at a high level."
