how is Tarik Muharemović ankle after the game

As of the latest reports, Tarik Muharemović’s ankle after the World Cup game against the United States is not considered seriously injured , and he finished the match and played the full 90 minutes despite the painful- looking foul.

What happened in the game

In the 61st minute of the U.S. vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina World Cup round- of-32 match, Muharemović came down to the turf in a 50/50 challenge with Folarin Balogun. Balogun’s boot landed on the back of Muharemović’s ankle, which made the foul look worse in slow-motion VAR playback. The referee reviewed it and gave Balogun a red card in the 64th minute, but Muharemović was able to continue playing.

Ankle status after the game

• Post-match: Muharemović “recovered and” continued playing after the incident, and ultimately completed the full 90 minutes.

• Social media note: A post from the Bosnia national team account said: “Tarik Muharemovic injury not looking good. Still played 90 minutes, hell of a guy!”. This suggests the ankle was painful and “not looking good” visually, but not enough to force him off the field.

• Later club context: In October 2025 (before this World Cup), he had been ruled out for a Lecce game due to an injury and was undergoing evaluations. That was a separate, earlier issue and not directly tied to the World Cup ankle incident.

Bottom line

After the game, Muharemović’s ankle was painful and appeared to be in bad shape , but he did not suffer a match-ending injury and was able to play the full match. There have been no reports of a serious ankle fracture or long-term damage stemming specifically from that challenge.
