First training of the Dragons at 5 PM

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team will hold its first training today at 5 PM, as the selector and coaching staff assessed that the players need rest, writes the Bosnian news agency Patria. Goalkeeper Asmir Begović arrives in Zenica today and will be the captain of the Dragons in Israel.

At the Training Center of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica, preparations for the upcoming match against Israel officially began with last night's roll call. Even before the gathering, selector Safet Sušić faced player injuries, so for this match he will not be able to count on Džeko, Vršajević, and Tin Sušić, who came to Zenica along with other national team members.

Among the players available for the match in Haifa, the following arrived at the Training Center: Fejzić, Dujković, Vranješ, Bičakčić, Šunjić, Spahić, Mujdža, Cimirot, Medunjanin, Lulić, Pjanić, Prcić, Hajrović, Zakarić, Hadžić, Bešić, Višća, and Kvržić.

Asmir Begović is the only player delayed in preparations, due to therapy following his appearance for his club last weekend when he felt pain in his groin.
