Džeko defends Demirović ahead of last Bosnia match against Sweden

Edin Džeko will play his final game for Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday against Sweden. During a press conference, Džeko defended Stuttgart's Ermedin Demirović after he faced criticism for his international performance despite a recent hat-trick in the Champions League. Demirović has struggled to find the net for Bosnia, with only four goals in 46 appearances. Džeko, who holds the record for goals and appearances for the national team, seeks to add to his 73 goals in what will be his 152nd match. Bosnia is currently second in their qualifying group following a draw with Poland and a win against Romania, while Sweden tops the group.
