Enters free agency after Schalke
Dzeko is a free agent after his contract with Schalke expired on June 30.
Analysis: Dzeko joined Schalke in January on a deal through the end of the 2025/26 season, arriving from Fiorentina and immediately making an impact, scoring six goals with three assists in his first several appearances as the club secured promotion to the Bundesliga. With his contract now expired and no extension finalized, Dzeko's next step is unresolved. At 40, his market is likely to hinge on whether a club can offer him a clear role rather than a bench spot. Nothing has been confirmed yet on whether he returns to Schalke for their first Bundesliga season back or explores a fresh free-agent destination.
Leaves field injured
Dzeko was forced off the field in the 51st minute of Wednesday's match against the USA due to an apparent leg injury.
Analysis: Dzeko would exit the field just a few minutes into the second half Wednesday, with the forward exiting after he appeared to pull up with discomfort in his leg. The forward looked to be holding his leg around his thigh area, likely signaling some discomfort in that region. If Bosnia is to advance, this is something to monitor, as he has started in their last three games. Ermin Mahmic was brought on in Dzeko's place after his exit.
