Tabaković severely injures foot, but refuses surgery to attend World Cup

(Patria) - Reliable journalist from German Sky Sport, Florian Plettenberg, confirmed that our national team striker Haris Tabaković suffered a fracture of the metatarsal bone (foot bone) during his team's convincing 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim.

However, despite this being one of the most serious injuries for footballers, the 31-year-old striker has made a heroic and shocking decision – he refuses surgery so as not to miss the historic World Cup!

Tabaković is firmly determined to take the risk and heal the injury naturally, hoping that doctors will manage to beat the clock so he can be on the plane to America.

“He wants to treat the injury conservatively and has the dream and goal of traveling to the World Cup with Bosnia and joining the tournament at a later stage. He will now wear a special boot (cast boot) for two weeks, and before making this decision, he consulted with several top doctors,” Plettenberg reveals.

If the bone heals at the planned pace, Tabaković could join the “Dragons” at the World Cup at a later stage of the competition, which clearly shows how much he wants to wear the jersey with the national crest at the biggest tournament.

Brutal Bundesliga season leads to career transfer

This injury comes at a time when Tabaković is playing the football of his life. He has had a fantastic season in the German elite, scoring 13 goals and providing two assists.

According to German media, this brutal statistic in the Bundesliga has already secured him significant market interest, so regardless of the current injury, Tabaković is expected to receive plenty of tempting offers and a certain big transfer during the summer. However, all the experienced striker's thoughts are currently focused solely on a speedy recovery and realizing his World Cup dream.
