Bosnia assistant manager Elvir Rahimic admits Inter ‘don’t want us to risk Edin Dzeko, but that’s ridiculous. If he’s ready, he will play.’
The centre-forward went off early during the 1-1 draw with Milan on Sunday evening, suffering from a slight muscular issue.
He went on international duty with Bosnia and Herzegovina anyway, even though Simone Inzaghi expressed his concerns that Dzeko could suffer a relapse or do more damage if he is not adequately rested.
“We hope that Dzeko is ready, but he’s doing well and we believe he can play,” said Bosnia assistant manager Rahimic in his press conference today.
“We read Inzaghi’s comments and Inter don’t want us to risk Dzeko, but that’s ridiculous. If Dzeko is ready, then he will certainly play.”
The 35-year-old former Roma hitman has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 16 competitive games for Inter so far this season.

Good for Bosnia.
Slight muscular issue???
You would think these players are on their death beds with 3/4’s of injuries they are subbed off for.
Great advertising for future recruits, just remember, playing for Inter means you sacrifice playing for your country because we cannot multi-task and win at the same time !
