The 27-year-old star has revealed that he felt very good against Turkey and is ready to play. As one of the best players in the squad, head coach Mauricio Pochettino will restore him to the starting lineup, hoping he can create space against Bosnia and Herzegovina’s solid defense. Alongside Pulisic, Mauricio Pochettino will bet on Folarin Balogun as striker and Weston McKennie as attacking midfielder. In addition, Malik Tillman and Tyler Adams would be in charge of balancing the team in midfield. Therefore, the USMNT will maintain the tactical approach that shined in the debut of the 2026 World Cup, to secure their place in the Round of 16.

USMNT confirmed lineup vs Bosnia and Herzegovina After Christian Pulisic recovered full fitness, USMNT arrive for the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina with no injuries in their roster. Despite this, Mauricio Pochettino could make some adjustments to his starting lineup. However, the game idea would be the same: Press high and seek to be dominant with the ball.

With this in mind, USMNT will lineup as follows: Matt Freese; Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Tim Ream; Sergino Dest, Tyler Adams, Malik Tillman, Antonee Robinson; Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic; Folarin Balogun.

After drawing against Canada and losing to Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina face Qatar looking for their first victory at the 2026 World Cup. For this reason, fans are closely monitoring Edin Džeko, as he is expected to be a difference-maker with his goalscoring ability. Bosnia and Herzegovina face Qatar in their third match of the 2026 World Cup. After drawing against Canada and losing to Switzerland, they arrive needing a victory to keep their knockout-stage hopes alive. However, Julen Lopetegui’s team could cause problems through their patient possession play and strong defense. Therefore, fans are closely monitoring Edin Džeko’s status, as he could make the difference in attack. Edin Džeko will start for Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final group-stage match. Although he has yet to score in the tournament, he remains the national team’s main reference point. With his excellent aerial ability and strong one-on-one play, he could take advantage of the spaces behind Qatar‘s defense. At 40 years old, he is aiming to shine in what could be his final edition of the tournament. Alongside Džeko, head coach Sergej Barbarez has decided to rely on Ermedin Demirović as his attacking partner. In addition, Kerim Alajbegović and Esmir Bajraktarević are expected to be difference-makers on the counterattack, thanks to their pace and efficiency. Rather than dominating possession, Bosnia and Herzegovina could lean on their aerial game, looking to exploit spaces in a Qatar defense that does not particularly excel in that area. Despite coming off a heavy 6–0 defeat to Canada, Qatar could look to show their best version by relying on a possession-based style of play as their main approach. To achieve this, head coach Julen Lopetegui has decided to trust Karim Boudiaf, Ahmed Fathi, and Jassem Gaber in midfield. However, all eyes will be on Akram Afif, the national team’s biggest star, as he looks to make an impact in front of goal.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will lineup as follows: Nikola Vasilj; Stjepan Radeljic, Nikola Katic, Arjan Malic, Sead Kolasinac; Esmir Bajraktarevic, Ivan Šunjić, Ivan Bašić, Kerim Alajbegovic; Ermedin Demirovic, Edin Džeko.

Qatar will play as follows: Mahmoud Abunada; Pedro Miguel, Boualem Khoukhi, Issa Laye, Sultan Al Brake; Ahmed Fathi, Jassem Gaber, Karim Boudiaf; Hasan Al-Haydos, Edmilson Junior, Akram Afif.
The hype around Johan Manzambi will only heighten after his star turn from the substitutes’ bench helped Switzerland out of a hole and got their World Cup truly up and running. The 20-year-old managed to excel despite Freiburg’s comprehensive Europa League final defeat against Aston Villa last month and, with 73 minutes gone and 166 seconds after entering as part of a transformative triple substitution here, his superb volley put an end to a sterile contest, hooking a right-foot shot into the Bosnia and Herzegovina net.Until that point Switzerland had another eight fruitless shots to file with the 26 they mustered in their disappointing opening draw against Qatar, their sole goal a Breel Embolo penalty. Things kept unravelling in the final third. But Manzambi brought great poise and scored twice, his first when he lashed Amar Memic’s headed clearance past Nikola Vasilj and the second understated but sumptuous. It was also Manzambi’s feathery pass that released Embolo on goal, prompting the defender Tarik Muharemovic to lunge in and leave Bosnia and Herzegovina with 10 men, before Rubén Vargas and Granit Xhaka, with the final kick, completed the scoring.
