Continues to train separately
Tabakovic's (ankle) participation in Tuesday's practice was limited to physical therapy and individual work while Bosnia-Herzegovina prepare for the World Cup kickoff, Bosnian Football reports.
Analysis: Tabakovic is expected to miss the first couple of group-stage contests against Canada and Switzerland, respectively, reducing the team's attacking depth. Given that Edin Dzeko (undisclosed) is also dealing with discomfort, Ermedin Demirovic and Jovo Lukic could make the starting front duo in the short term. Meanwhile, Tabakovic will look to increase his workload in upcoming training sessions and eventually offer an interesting backup option.
Working separately with physios
Tabakovic (ankle) has joined the Bosnia and Herzegovina squad in Toronto but continues to work separately on his own program with the national team's physiotherapists rather than training with the group, according to Reprezentacija.
Analysis: Tabakovic's arrival at the squad's base is an encouraging development given the severity of the ankle fracture he suffered during the Bundesliga season finale, and his presence in Toronto confirms he is progressing within the planned recovery timeline. The third group stage fixture at the latest remains the target for his potential return to competitive action, with the coaching staff hoping to have their most prolific striker available at some point during the tournament.
