International Call-Ups: Nürnberger called by Bulgaria
For Fabian Nürnberger it's time to pack your bags and go to the Bulgarian national team! Because the next international break is coming up. With his mother's home country, the Lilien professional is once again challenged in the UEFA Nations League. In League C, Group 3, the third-placed Bulgarians have to play against bottom team Luxembourg on Friday (15.11/8:45pm) and play at home against Belarus on the following Monday (18.11/8:45pm).
Fabian Nürnberger has been an integral part of the Bulgarian national team since September. The left-back has played three of the four possible games so far and has been on the pitch for the full game in all of his appearances. The Darmstadt player only had to sit out the last game against Northern Ireland due to a yellow card suspension. Of all times, his team lost 5-0 away against the Northern Irish after collecting a point with Nürnberger in a goalless draw against Luxembourg.
Luxembourg is also waiting for Bulgaria next Friday (15.11/8:45pm). The 25-year-old from Darmstadt can play again after serving a ban at the Stade de Luxembourg. Nürnberger & Co. then head back to Bulgaria, where they will welcome the Belarus team at home on Monday evening (November 18th). The Bulgarian national team will play against the second-placed team at the Hristo Botev Stadium in Plovdiv. The game also kicks off at 8:45pm. You can follow both matches in the live stream on DAZN.
Let’s go, Fabi! We keep our fingers crossed for you!
