Game-free weekend? Not for Fabian Nürnberger. The Lilien professional is traveling again with the Bulgarian national team during the current international match period.

First, Nürnberger and Co. will duel with the Luxembourg selection on Saturday (October 12th) on the third Nations League matchday.
