Levski will lose another key player for a long time. Defender Kelian van der Kaap is likely to undergo surgery on a knee problem. This was also the reason why the Dutchman watched the derby with CSKA from the stands, but immediately after the final whistle, he went down to the track and celebrated the victory with his teammates and Levski fans.
Van der Kaap did not play in the control with Heber during the break, and on Thursday he was adamant that he would not be able to play in the derby. The defender left prematurely and the last practice before the match with the “reds“.
"Van der Kaap had problems last week as well. He started training by saving him some things. However, the problems do not subside and an operation will probably be necessary", explained the coach of Levski - Stanislav Genchev.
