Bosnia announce final squad for World Cup 2014

As Safet Susic had originally named a 24-man provisional squad, Ervin Zukanovic was the only casualty after he was refused a visa and missed the nation's training camp in the USA.

Bosnia-Herzegovina have confirmed their final squad for the 2014 World Cup. Ervin Zukanovic has been omitted as he was
unable to travel with the team to their training camp in the United States after being refused a visa.

The Gent defender was quoted as blaming the situation on the Bosnian football federation, who subsequently responded with a statement that confirmed the player would no longer be needed in Brazil. Bosnia coach Safet Susic had originally named 24 players in his provisional squad, so the absence of Zukanovic means the
other players who were originally selected have been retained.

Susic's men reached the finals after topping their qualifying group ahead of Greece, who
subsequently made it to Brazil via the play-offs.

Bosnia face Mexico in their final warm-up match on Wednesday, before taking on Argentina, Nigeria and Iran in Group F at the World Cup.
