Haris Tabakovic

Tabakovic (ankle) has not yet joined the Bosnia and Herzegovina squad's training sessions at Energizer Park in St. Louis, with the striker's arrival expected on Friday but his ability to play at the World Cup remaining in doubt, according to Sportske.

Tabakovic (ankle) has been included in Bosnia and Herzegovina's official 26-man squad submitted to FIFA for the group stage, with his replacement Arjan Malic left out of the final list as coach Sergej Barbarez expects Tabakovic to return before the third match, according to Reprezentacija.

Tabakovic (ankle) is not expected to be ready for Bosnia and Herzegovina's World Cup opener against Canada on June 12 but remains within the planned recovery timeline, with coach Sergej Barbarez confirming the situation will be reassessed once he begins training, according to Reprezentacija. "We will enter the championship with Haris not being ready for the first match and we will continue to see the situation, but he is also within the timeframe we have set. We hope it will remain that way. But the coach is always the measure and when they start training we will say more."

Tabakovic (ankle) could potentially join the Bosnia and Herzegovina squad before their World Cup departure, according to coach Sergej Barbarez, per Reprezentacija. "As for Tabakovic, there are no daily updates, no information, I know that we are on the right track, on time, that we have planned for him to be well. He will most likely join us before the trip, there is an option for him to continue treatment so that we are sure that he is ready."

Tabakovic suffered an ankle fracture in the 72nd minute of Saturday's season finale against Hoffenheim and is expected to miss at least three months, ruling him out of the World Cup with Bosnia and Herzegovina this summer, according to Klix.
