Bosnia-Herzegovina captain Emir Spahic will play in their
crucial FIFA World Cup clash against Nigeria on Saturday, according to Borce
Sredojevic.
Spahic left the training track on Thursday due to a left
knee problem, casting a shadow over the Bayer Leverkusen man's availability for
their Group F tie in Cuiaba.
But Bosnia-Herzegovina assistant Sredojevic said the
33-year-old central defender will push through the pain.
"I am optimistic about Spahic's chances because we
all know his will power and what he means to the team," Sredojevic said.
Sejad Salihovic has failed in his bid to be fit for the
clash with the Nigerians, after picking up a muscle injury prior to their 2-1
loss to Argentina.
Miralem Pjanic said he is confident Bosnia will outclass
their African opposition.
"I believe in our team. I do respect Nigeria but we
are the better team. We are going to win this," the Roma midfielder said.
