Bulgaria coach Plamen Markov has named a 19-man squad for the final UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifier against Croatia in Zagreb on 11 October.
Zdravkov and Petrov included
Istanbulspor AS goalkeeper Zdravko Zdravkov is back in the squad after recovering from a jaw injury, while VfL Wolfsburg left winger Martin Petrov, who suffered a broken toe in his left foot at the weekend, is also called up but will not play in the game. Petrov was having surgery today in Berlin.
