Ruled out against Qatar
Dedic is unavailable against Qatar as he has not recovered in time from a small thigh issue, according to BIHFootball.
Analysis: Dedic missed Bosnia's last training session before the game due to a minor muscle issue in the front of his thigh. Despite optimism from coach Sergej Barbarez that he could still be available, he is now reported to be ruled out, a huge blow given his importance and the magnitude of the clash, with Amar Memic a possible option to replace him.
Solid effort against Swiss
Dedic recorded one shot on goal, two tackles and three clearances in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Dedic was a solid factor in the match Thursday despite the rough loss, as the defender earned himself a decent outing. He would only see the one shot in the attack, but earned plenty of stats in the defense with the four goals conceded, notching an interception, two tackles and three clearances. He is more than likely to maintain this role, one of Bosnia's better players, through two matches.
Records seven clearances
Dedic recorded two tackles (one won) and seven clearances in Friday's 1-1 draw against Canada.
Analysis: Bosnia were under heavy pressure throughout the second half, but Dedic was one of the standout performers from a defensive standpoint after racking up the second-highest mark in clearances. Look for Dedic to keep his place in the starting XI for the match against Switzerland on June 18, though his fantasy upside will mostly be limited to defensive contributions.
