Kolasinac picked up an injury an hour into that game and was therefore in doubt for the play-off final against Italy.

However, reports from today’s training session suggests that he has recovered and is ready to start the big match.

It means that coach Sergej Barbarez will have a full squad at his disposal going into that encounter with Italy.

Kolasinac is one of the Bosnia and Herzegovina players who are currently plying their trade in Serie A at club level, as he joined Atalanta from Olympique Marseille in 2023.

Others in the group include Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic and former Fiorentina striker Edin Dzeko.
