It is not news that Alex Grozdanov will not be able to help our team in the first VNL tournament in Canada, where Bulgaria starts on June 11 against Italy. Even when it became clear that he had a fracture of a finger on his right hand, which is currently splinted, sports traumatology specialists predicted a minimum of one month for recovery. These negative news were confirmed by the team manager Stofan Cholakov, who told Darik radio today that he doubted the captain's full recovery for the matches in Quebec. A final check-up is scheduled for Friday. Thank God, we have many valuable players in this position who could adequately replace the Polish champion. In all likelihood, Borko Nachev will go with the group, as he has fully recovered from a minor injury. The most discussed presence is that of Martin Atanasov, who with a great deal of certainty will strengthen the reception in this tournament.
