Substitute Thursday
Bajraktarevic recorded one interception in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Bajraktarevic was welcomed to the field off the bench Thursday, as the midfielder recorded 26 minutes of play in the rough loss. He was not involved in a whole lot, as an interception was his only stat to go along with nine completed passes. He remains a major reason Bosnia is even at the World Cup, so he will await a starting role for the group stage finale.
Largely ineffectual in draw
Bajraktarevic registered three clearances and two interceptions in Friday's 1-1 draw against Canada.
Analysis: Bajraktarevic was one of the surprises in the starting lineup for this match, and the winger was unable to get into a proper rhythm throughout the game. Ultimately, his lack of punch in the final third forced him out of the contest midway through the second half. It remains to be seen if the PSV winger will remain in the lineup for the game against Switzerland on June 18.
