The central striker of Botev (Plovdiv) and the top scorer in the elite - Georgi Nikolov , will undergo surgery in Spain next week after sustaining a serious injury in the match with FC CSKA 1948, reported Topsport.
Georgi will travel to the Iberian country next Tuesday. It is expected that he will be out of action for at least six months, writes dsport.
Nikolov tore his cruciate ligaments and meniscus during the goalless draw with the "reds", which is the reason for surgical intervention.
The footballer joined Botev with a winter transfer from Heber.
