Fabian Nürnberger has already appeared on the pitch for the Bulgarian national team three times – and the Lilies‘ left-back is back in action for Bulgaria during the current international break. In the UEFA Nations League (League C, Group 3), there is an away game against Luxembourg on Friday (15.11/8:45pm) before the team meets group runners-up Belarus on Monday (18.11) at 8:45 p.m. at home.
These two matches are the last group games in the Nations League. Bulgaria could then continue in the knockout phase. But in a balanced group, points are urgently needed. With two wins, the Bulgarians around Nürnberger could even jump to first place and secure an excellent starting position for the next round. You can watch both games live on the DAZN streaming service.
