Should be option
Dzeko (undisclosed) will likely be eligible for Friday's clash against Canada, with Bosnia manager Sergej Barbarez saying "Edin is here and Edin will compete for the game quite normally.", reprezentacija.ba reports.
Analysis: Dzeko has resumed full training despite fears that he would miss the World Cup opener due to his recent injury struggles. What remains unclear is whether the veteran will be ready to start, with an appearance off the bench a viable scenario for the initial match. After that, he could push for more involvement at the expense of either Jovo Lukic or Ermedin Demirovic, emerging as one of the team's biggest offensive threats.
Logs full training session Thursday
Dzeko (undisclosed) trained in full Thursday and should be available for Friday's World Cup opener against Canada, according to Bosnian Football.
Analysis: Dzeko rejoined team training Wednesday and also logged a full session Thursday, so he shouldn't have problems playing in the team's opening match against Canada. Dzeko should be the team's main reference in the attack.
