Bosnia set to hit Stoke keeper Begovic with sanctions

Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic has again upset the Bosnia Football Association after missing another game with his national side. The 23-year-old shot-stopper was absent after reportedly telling international coach Safet Susic he wanted to focus on keeping his first-team place with the Potters.

The keeper also missed the clash with Slovakia last November but the BFA accepted Begovic's explanation that he was too ill to travel.

But Susic is furious, telling the Stoke Sentinel: "After this we will initiate proceedings against him.

"I could not believe it when he cancelled against the Slovaks, but I forgive him because he is an outstanding goalkeeper.

"But we will do everything that needs to be done when it comes to this case. After doing this for a second time, it will not be overlooked again."
