Bulgaria’s volleyball ace misses the first tournament in the League of Nations with an injury?

Alexander Nikolov will have to miss about a month of volleyball if the diagnosis made in his club team Kucine Lube (Italy) turns out to be correct.

The news is on “24 hours”.

The biggest star of the Bulgarian national team will certainly not be on the line for the matches in the playoff phase of the Apennine Championship, where the squad is looking for the fifth place.

And according to the media, also for the start of the meetings of the Bulgarian team in the League of Nations.

Nikolov has severe back pain caused by discopathy with a herniated disc, and the Bulgarian camp will also seek a second medical opinion. But it is expected that the 20-year-old player will be out of the field for at least a month, in which he will not be able to conduct training almost entirely.

And this should take him out of the accounts for the national team, which begins its participation in the League of Nations with a tournament in Turkey on May 21.

Rivals there are France, the Netherlands, the USA and Canada.

Bulgaria is expected to play against them without Alex Nikolov.

The hope is that he will recover for the second mini-tournament of the competition, which starts on June 9 in Japan.

In it, our team will meet Poland, Germany, Iran and Slovenia.
