Two shots during start
Dzeko recorded two shots (zero on target) in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Dzeko was back on the field Thursday after he was held to an unused bench role in the last contest, playing 64 minutes in the loss. He would see two shots in the outing, but was unable to put either on net. He will now eye a starting role as they prepare to face Qatar, a huge match if they want to remain in the World Cup, with Dzeko typically rising to the occasion.
Doesn't play vs. Canada
Dzeko didn't come off the bench in Friday's 1-1 draw against Canada.
Analysis: Dzeko was deemed "likely available" for this WC opener, but the veteran striker didn't play in a game where Bosnia spent most of the second half trying to protect their one-goal lead. Dzeko will aim to be an option for the second group-stage match against Switzerland on Thursday, June 18.
