Goalkeeper Fyodor Lapoukhov and midfielder Max Ebong will not help their team in the return leg of the first qualifying round of the Europa League against Northern Irish "Derry City".
The footballers are not at Sofia Airport with the team, which is preparing to fly to the British Isles, writes football.by.
"CSKA informs that at the moment our footballers and players of the Belarusian national team — Fyodor Lapoukhov and Max Ebong — have not yet received the necessary visas from the British authorities for their trip to Northern Ireland.
CSKA submitted all necessary documents in a timely manner, but the issue has not yet been resolved. The club has informed all competent Bulgarian institutions, as well as UEFA, about the situation.
If both players do not receive their visas in time, they will not be able to participate in the return leg against "Derry City" in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, which will take place on July 16," the CSKA statement says.
In the first match, the Bulgarian team won 3:2 at home.
