Only Facundo Conte and fellow wing-spiker Rodrigo Quiroga remain injured and out of the team.
Bulgaria go into the clashes having won and lost a match apiece away to Canada to take their 2015 World League record to four wins and two defeats.
They can choose from a settled squad with setter Andrey Zhekov continuing as team captain and spikers Todor Skrimov and Nikolay Penchev, middle-blockers Viktor Yosifov and Teodor Todorov and libero Teodor Salparov all available.
