The only specific information about Moni's injury comes from Alex

After the incident in the match against Turkey during the second tournament of the Volleyball Nations League in Burgas, when Simeon Nikolov sustained an injury at the beginning of the second set, official details from the national team's staff have been lacking. It appears that the situation is being closely monitored, but no data is being released before the player's full recovery.

In this situation, the first real and reassuring information came from his brother, Alex Nikolov, who spoke to the club website of Lube Civitanova. The Bulgarian star in the Italian giant candidly revealed what their family has been through in these days:

"I experienced those moments very heavily! Nothing like that had ever happened to me. To see a teammate in pain is very unpleasant, and when that teammate is your brother, it's even more painful. I hope I never find myself in such a situation again. Initially, it looked serious, and I followed the development with anxiety. Fortunately, the final medical examinations showed no severe damage. Simeon is now stable and starting individual training."

These are the only more specific details so far, which certainly gladden the fans and give hope that the young setter will soon return to full athletic form. According to our information, Moni's recovery is progressing better than expected. There is still no information about him having undergone an MRI, which will apparently happen by the end of the week to make a final decision on his inclusion in the squad or not.

High spirits in the Bulgarian camp before the decisive battles

In the same interview, Alex Nikolov also commented on Bulgaria's performance so far in the Nations League. The national team has already recorded more victories in the tournament than in recent seasons, which brings not only points but also strong faith in their own abilities.

"We feel good and are full of confidence. Achieving more victories with Chico Blengini compared to recent years has given us a lot of energy. We eagerly await the third week of the VNL to try and climb in the standings, and why not, achieve historical success by qualifying for the Finals."
