The head coach of the Sofia team Zlatomir Zagorchich announced the official list of players for the upcoming home match against the leader in efbet League - Ludogorets. Unexpectedly, the goal-scoring striker Toni Tasev, who was a player for Turkish Erzurumspor last season, returned to the group.

Two key players dropped out of the squad - Ivaylo Naydenov and Iliyan Stefanov. The defender is out of the field due to a viral illness, which necessitated the inclusion of young Toni Chung from the club's academy. Stefanov felt slight pain in his left leg and was removed from the group.

An additional problem for the coaching staff is the absence of goalkeeper Levi Ntumba, who is still serving a three-match suspension due to a red card received in the match against Botev (Vratsa) at the beginning of the championship.

The match from the fourth round of the championship is scheduled for Saturday, August 9, with a start time of 21:15 at the Alexander Shalamanov Stadium. The expanded squad of the "whites" includes a total of 21 players, including Georgi Petkov, Ivan Andonov, Diego Ferrareso, Artyom Varganov, and others.
