Bosnia dumped Miralem Pjanic from squad before Ukraine defeat

Bosnia axed Miralem Pjanic from the team camp ahead of last night’s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine.

Barcelona midfielder Pjanic, on-loan with Besiktas, was left out of the squad for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine after it emerged he went out before Saturday’s defeat to Finland.

The midfielder was taken off after 66 minutes against Finland, jeered by supporters, with reports later claiming he had been smoking hookah and drinking the night before the match, reports Sport.

The Finland game was a key match for Bosnia. If they’d won, they would have been second going into Tuesday’s final round of matches, which was enough to secure a playoff spot for the 2022 World Cup.

Bosnia lost at home to Ukraine 2-0 last night.
