Ruled out from World Cup
Celik (undisclosed) has been ruled out for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Leonardo Bertozzi of ESPN Brasil reports.
Analysis: Celik picked up an injury during Wednesday's training session and didn't train Thursday. The coaching staff didn't want to take any risks, and Celik won't be an option for the tournament. His place in the squad was taken by Arjan Malic, who was with the Bosnia squad stateside despite not being initially included in the original 26-player list.
Availability uncertain Friday
Celik (undisclosed) did not train Thursday after appearing to pick up an injury during the previous session, leaving his availability for Friday's clash against Canada uncertain, according to the federation.
Analysis: Celik has operated primarily in a rotational capacity but remains an important piece of the squad's depth, providing the coaching staff with a reliable and versatile option when called upon. His absence from Thursday's session is a concern given the limited time available before Friday's fixture, with no further details provided on the nature or severity of the issue. The coaching staff will assess his condition in the coming hours before making a final call on his involvement, with his availability representing a meaningful boost to the squad's options regardless of his role off the bench.
