The case of Nicolae Stanciu's absence from the Romanian national team has gained attention in Bosnia, especially ahead of their match on November 17. Stanciu, 33, cited health issues for not joining the squad, sharing medical documents and an MRI result on Instagram to clarify his situation. Bosnian media reported on the tensions surrounding his absence, highlighting Stanciu's response to criticism through a photo of his blood-stained boot from a previous match. This image was interpreted as a strong message to those doubting his commitment to the national team. Romania and Bosnia have faced each other nine times, with Bosnia holding a slight edge in victories.
