He would not return to the national team again until March 2026, when he was called up by manager Sergej Barbarez for the European second round of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification. However, he did not play because of an arm injury.[11] In June 2026, he was included in Bosnia and Herzegovina's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[12] His first goal for Bosnia and Herzegovina was scored during the World Cup, in a 1–1 draw against Canada.[13]
