Bosnia and Herzegovina's national football team had a training session at the stadium Grbavica where coach Bazdarevic had all players at his disposal. Assistant Dragan Peric and players Senad Lulic, Ermin Zec and Asmir Begovic addressed the media.

Peric: "Zukanovic and Cimirot will be missing unfortunately, but everyone else is fine. Players are confident, mood and atmosphere in the team are very good, it's been a pleasure working with these guys. We've analysed our opponent, we're getting ready, and I hope everything will end up well for us."

Lulic: "We all know what we need and what to expect. I left a really hard season and health problems behind me. Last time we played with Israel we were missing too many players, but now that we're complete we can play with anybody. It's important to prepare well and not be intimidated."

Begovic: "Mood in the team is great, we're working very seriously. Major test is ahead of us, we play for our country and we have to get back in the game. We can do a lot better than last year and we have to show that in upcoming match."

Before their training, players sent a message "No excuses - donate blood" in order to help a cause promoted by blood donor association in Sarajevo, FBIH institute for blood transfusion medicine and Red Cross Sarajevo.
