Edin Dzeko
40-Year-Old
FC Schalke 04
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 8/1/2026
Leaves field injured
Dzeko was forced off the field in the 51st minute of Wednesday's match against the USA due to an apparent leg injury.
ANALYSIS
Dzeko would exit the field just a few minutes into the second half Wednesday, with the forward exiting after he appeared to pull up with discomfort in his leg. The forward looked to be holding his leg around his thigh area, likely signaling some discomfort in that region. If Bosnia is to advance, this is something to monitor, as he has started in their last three games. Ermin Mahmic was brought on in Dzeko's place after his exit.
