Forward Mustapha Sangare missed Levski Sofia’s initial training session ahead of their Sunday match against CSKA 1948, raising concerns about his availability for the crucial First League fixture.
Sangare, a key attacking player for the league leaders, was absent alongside midfielder Kristian Makun, according to reports. Both players are reportedly not yet fit for full training intensity, though the coaching staff are hopeful they will be included in the squad for the match in Bistritsa.
The game carries significant weight for Levski, who currently top the First League standings. CSKA 1948 represent one of their closest challengers, making the outcome particularly important in the title race. Sangare recently featured as a substitute in Levski’s match against Botev Plovdiv, demonstrating his ongoing competition with Juan Pereira for a starting position in the attack.
Levski secured a convincing 4-2 victory over CSKA 1948 in a previous encounter on September 15, 2024, with Sangare scoring two goals in that match. The team subsequently returned to winning form in the league following that result.
