Tarik Muharemović

Analysis: Muharemovic didn't do much throughout the contest, but his presence at the back was enough to limit the impact of the Canadian strikers. The 21 clearances were a game-high mark for the Sassuolo defender, who should remain as the team's defensive anchor going forward. Bosnia's next game will be against Switzerland on Thursday, June 18.

Should anchor Bosnian defense

Muharemovic should anchor the Bosnia defense at the 2026 FIFA World Cup from his center-back role.

Analysis: Muharemovic was a regular starter for Sassuolo throughout the 2025/26 Serie A and was part of the XI in each of his 32 league appearances. He's one of the few Bosnia players with an established role in a top-five European league, so he should play a sizable role on defense for them in their Group B campaign where they'll face Switzerland, Canada and Qatar.
