Sunjic recorded one cross, two tackles and three clearances in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Sunjic started in the midfield Thursday after a bench appearance in their World Cup opener, as the midfielder recorded 86 minutes of play. However, his impact on the match was minor, only recording a bit of work in the defense. This could lead him to miss out on the start in the group stage finale, needing to show a bit more against the Swiss.
Comes off bench Friday
Sunjic came off the bench in Friday's 1-1 draw against Canada and played 16 minutes.
Analysis: Sunjic missed Bosnia and Herzegovina's last friendly against Panama with a muscular issue, but he trained throughout the week and coach Sergej Barbarez had expressed confidence he would be involved. He did indeed return, coming off the bench for 16 minutes. The midfielder was a key figure in the lineup during the two qualification games that secured Bosnia and Herzegovina's place at the World Cup, and could be in line to return to the starting XI in the coming games. However, the limited minutes he was given, with Armin Gigovic introduced ahead of him as the first midfield substitute, is a slightly worrying sign.
