Bolic returns
Berberovic, a midfield player with FK Sarajevo, is joined in the squad by two other uncapped players in FK Partizan defender Branimir Bajic and NK Široki Brijeg midfield player Mirko Hrgovic. Returning to the group, meanwhile, is Rayo Vallecano striker Elvir Bolic, Bosnia's leading scorer.
Improvement needed
After failing to score in defeats by Romania and Norway in their opening two Group 2 matches, Sliškovic is hoping for an improvement in Bosnia's forward play against Wales. "The start of the qualifiers has not been very good for us and we seem far more efficient in friendlies," he said. "Against Wales we will use the opportunity to correct several things in our attack."
