Yeah, I know that but how serious it is and when he will be able to play? You know, I'm not a student of medicine.

No one knows it exactly, but after 1 or 2 weeks of stops he 'll be able to play again

Best team plus best Asian team, so if an Asian team is the first then 2 Asian teams are qualifying.

So If:

2-Iran
3-Japan

Serbia & Iran qualify, but If:

According to my inside informatior, if Bulgaria doesn't get the quota on the upcoming tournament from 8 to 10 June, then Sofia will host a third OGCT on which Bulgaria is gonna compete with Uganda, Eritrea and Bahrain for a specially established 13th extra Olympic ticket!!! In case we miss once again the chance to qualify, there are ongoing negotiations between FIVB and the International Olympic Committee to be made a little exception to the rule and the olympic volleyball tournament to be held in Sofia instead of London - as a second host Bulgaria will qualify ex officio, so the number of teams participating will increase to 14
