Barbarez: Edin Dzeko ‘to leave’ Bosnia camp before Poland match | OneFootball

Bosnia and Herzegovina head coach Sergej Barbarez says Edin Dzeko is set to leave the national team camp early following his international retirement. The Dragons face Poland in the Nations League without their record goalscorer.

"I think he has to go to Germany today. I would be glad if he appeared, to see him once again," Barbarez said, per Reprezentacija.

"Only Edin said goodbye to us, otherwise all 25 players are here, they are all ready. There is fatigue, but we still have more than 24 hours," he added.

"He was injured in the first two games. He only did one training session before the second match," he explained, addressing Samed Bazdar’s recent absence.

"We experience the same thing with Robert as we do with Edin. Robert will continue to play, but when he's not there… those are personalities because of whom everyone comes to the stands and because of whom every opponent has huge respect. We experience the same as against Sweden, that they change 5-6 players and still have quality," Barbarez noted.
