Back in team training for World Cup
Dzeko (undisclosed) has returned from injury and rejoined team training ahead of Bosnia's World Cup opener against Canada. Bosnian Football reports.
Analysis: Dzeko returned to team training after an injury concern that had kept him working individually and ruled him out of the last two friendlies. The return of Bosnia's all-time top scorer, who contributed six goals throughout the qualifying campaign including a crucial late equaliser against Wales in the playoff semi-final, is a major boost for the squad heading into their World Cup opener against Canada, though his availability to start will depend on how he progresses over the coming days and whether he is considered fit enough.
Working individually Tuesday
Dzeko (undisclosed) has yet to rejoin the rest of Bosnia-Herzegovina's squad in training as he works on his own ahead of the World Cup opening match against Canada, Bosnian Football reports.
Analysis: Dzeko's status appears to be a huge question mark in the Bosnian lineup, with the striker now at serious risk of missing action due to the issue. In case the veteran is ruled out, Ermedin Demirovic and Jovo Lukic could see extended outings in the front line. Dzeko sat out the last couple of international friendlies, before which he had scored seven goals and three assists over 13 games played for both club and country in 2026.
