Botev Plovdiv’s central defender Atanas Chernev will join the Bulgarian U21 national team for the European qualifiers against Germany and Israel.
The team will play both matches away, with the first one against group leaders Germany in Regensburg on October 11. Due to unrest in the Middle East, the match against Israel will take place in Győr, Hungary, on October 15.
Chernev started in Botev’s 1-0 victory over CSKA 1948 in the 10th round of the championship, marking his first minutes of the season after recovering from an injury. Earlier, Botev’s offensive player Nikola Iliev was also called up for Bulgaria U21.
Botev (Plovdiv) wishes success to Chernev and Iliev in their appearances for Bulgaria.
