Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is reportedly returning to England before the end of the international break.

That doesn’t mean the 33-year-old is injured or anything like that. He actually decided to leave the Bosnian national team due to his reserve status, according to Bljesak.

It’s claimed that following the match against the Netherlands on Sunday, Begovic spoke to manager Dušan Bajević and decided to head back to England.

The goalkeeper is said to be unsatisfied after spending two matches on the bench.  Ibrahim Šehić who did well in both of the games, likely confirming his place for tomorrow’s match against Poland.

The Bosnian federation later confirmed that Begovic has left the national team camp. They didn’t reveal the reason, but claimed he’s travelling back to England following a conversation with the manager.

Begovic has 63 caps for Bosnia, and hasn’t been a regular starter since 2017. Now that he’s back being a starter at Bournemouth, perhaps he wanted to return and make sure he’s ready for the club’s next match.
