Bosnia, Ghana’s World Cup squad
Bosnia coach Safet Susic has named his definitive 23-man squad for the World Cup, which will be the country’s first major tournament since gaining independence in 1992.
Apart from the absence of Gent defender Ervin Zukanovic, who was axed after a fall-out with the Bosnian Federation, Susic’s squad is the same as that announced in May.
Bosnia begin their Group F campaign against Argentina on June 15 in Rio de Janeiro before facing Nigeria in Cuiaba on June 21 and Iran in Salvador on June 25.
Two goals from Edin Dzeko gave them a 2-1 friendly win against the Ivory Coast in St Louis, Missouri.
They will play a final warm-up game against Mexico in Chicago on Wednesday before flying to Brazil.
