Amar Dedić asked bow and arrow question by Bosnian media

Amar Dedić is one of three Newcastle United players who could be in action on Saturday night.

At 7.45pm it is Portugal v Denmark in a Nations League match, with William Osula potentially lining up for the Danes.

Whilst at the Strawberry Arena, it could be Anthony Elanga facing Amar Dedić.

That is also a 7.45pm kick-off with Sweden playing Bosnia & Herzegovina in their Nations League clash.

That match at the Strawberry Arena will also see tribute paid and an emotional farewell before kick-off to Emil Krafth and four other Sweden internationals who are to be now formally retired.

Ahead of the match, Amar Dedić has been talking to Bosnian media.

At the official pre-match press conference, Amar Dedić stating: “I missed the previous [international] gathering because of injury. I’ve returned, played several matches for Newcastle, I’m back in form and I’m happy to be here again. Wearing the national team jersey is something special, so I can’t wait for the match.”

Amar Dedić also gave an interview to N1 who report: An entertaining part of the session revolved around Dedic’s trademark bow and arrow goal celebration. Asked to imagine himself as Robin Hood and choose a teammate to play Little John, Robin’s powerful ally, Dedic chose [Atalanta player and Bosnia captain] Sead Kolasinac. “Honestly, I haven’t watched that film, but since I heard he was strong, I’ll take Sejo, as he’s the strongest among us.”

N1 adding: Another notable moment was the question regarding which of his national team colleagues he would bring to Newcastle United. Amar Dedić pointed out that several players possess the required quality for the English club, and when asked to single out three, he named: “Esmir Bajraktarević, Kerim Alajbegović, Tarik Muharemović.”
