Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic under investigation by FIFA after missing Bosnia friendly
Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is under investigation by FIFA after failing to turn up for Bosnia's friendly with Mexico in Atlanta on Wednesday.As the FA prepare to clamp down on their clubs following a raft of England withdrawals this week, Bosnia coach Safet Susic has reported Begovic following his second no-show in three months. Investigation: BegovicThe 23-year-old goalkeeper told Susic he wanted to safeguard his place at Stoke, fearing that a long trip to America for a game in the early hours of Thursday morning would put him at a disadvantage compared to rival Thomas Sorensen who only had a short flight to Denmark for the friendly with England.FIFA confirmed last night that they have launched an investigation after receiving an official complaint, although it is unlikely to affect Begovic's participation at Birmingham on Saturday.
