Bolton winger Martin Petrov and Sporting Lisbon forward Valeri Bojinov will miss Bulgaria's opening 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Italy and Armenia next month.
Coach Lyuboslav Penev did not give a reason for their absences from the games on September 7 and four days later in Sofia.
Bulgaria is also without Aston Villa midfielder Stiliyan Petrov, who is fighting acute leukemia, while Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov, who has been linked with a move to Fiorentina, has refused to return to the team.
The 21-man squad includes four players from current Bulgarian league leader Ludogorets.
