Bojinov back for Bulgaria

Valeri Bojinov has been called up to the Bulgaria squad for their up and coming World Cup qualifiers. He will come up against City team mates Richard Dunne and Shay Given when Bulgaria take on the Republic Of Ireland at Croke Park on the 28Th of March. He then goes on to play Cyprus on the 1st of April at the Vasil Levski National Stadium, Sofia, Bulgaria.

I would prefer it if Bojinov didn't go playing for his country so soon after coming back from injury, but I am sure he will. I just hope they don't expect to much from him, the last thing we need is for him to aggravate his injury.

Hughes gives injury updates

Mark Hughes has given updates on the injury's of Benjani, Petrov and Bojinov today, he had this to say........

Bojinov: "We arranged a behind-closed-doors game today, and we were looking for him to play a half or maybe even an hour. That will do him good, but he has been training at full tilt with the rest of the squad for a week now. He's looked good, but what he needs is games."

Petrov: "Martin is still doing his rehab, and I think he has an appointment with his surgeon very soon. We're hoping that that goes very well for him, and if he gets the green light then he will step up the training and will be close to playing again."

Benjani: "Benji is probably a couple of weeks away, he also needs the green light from our medical people but he is usually fit anyway so I would like to think he will be close to coming back after getting the OK."

I can't wait to see Petrov back we would have more points than we do if he had been playing, Benjani well not mega exciting to get him back but will be good to have him back around the squad and then there is Bojinov who I am excited about getting back I really can not wait to see him get a run in the team.
