Celtic pair Stilian Petrov and Robert Douglas are both facing time on the sidelines through injury.
Petrov suffered an ankle knock in Bulgaria's friendly win over Cameroon and goalkeeper Douglas is struggling with a long-term hip injury.
But Bulgaria team doctor Michail Iliev maintains the injury to Petrov is nothing serious.
He said: "Stilian has suffered an injury of his left leg ankle, but will be back to football in 10 days."
However, Douglas' agent, Blair Morgan, fears the Scotland international may need immediate surgery.
Morgan said: "We thought it was a problem which would be cured by rest, but there is now a possibility Rab may need a small operation.
"They might need to operate right away, although perhaps they could wait until the season is over."
