Parma striker Valeri Bojinov and Bolton forward Martin Petrov were recalled to the Bulgaria squad for the upcoming friendly against Serbia.
Bulgaria coach Lothar Matthaeus announced his 20-man squad Thursday for the Nov. 17 match in Sofia.
Matthaeus will have to seek a replacement for playmaker Stiliyan Petrov. The Aston Villa midfielder injured his knee two weeks ago and could face up to two months on the sidelines.
