Nearing return
Sunjic (muscular) is close to full fitness and has begun training with the Bosnia and Herzegovina squad, with coach Sergej Barbarez expressing confidence there will be no issues ahead of the World Cup, according to Sarajevo Times. "Ivan is the only one still out, but there won't be any problems going forward. He is almost at the level and is starting to train with us,"
Analysis: Sunjic is expected to be a regular starter in Bosnia's midfield for the World Cup opener against Canada on June 12, and the coach's reassuring update suggests his absence from Saturday's friendly against Panama was purely precautionary rather than any sign of a lingering concern.
Doesn't play Saturday
Sunjic (undisclosed) didn't play in Saturday's friendly match against Panama.
Analysis: Sunjic trained in full earlier in the week, so perhaps he didn't play simply due to a managerial choice. He should be a starter in midfield ahead of their WC opener against Canada on June 12 if he doesn't suffer a setback.
