Jedvaj was sidelined for much of the current Bundesliga campaign as the result of a hairline shin fracture and he only made his comeback in the middle of February in the 2-1 away win at Hamburg SV. Since then, he played in nine of the eleven remaining league games. Above all in the final three games of the season, where he went the full distance each time, he underlined his ambition to play at the World Cup with some impressive performances in the back four. Jedvaj has earned ten full caps for his country and he now has the opportunity in the run-in to catch the eye of Croatia coach Dalić to claim a place in the final 23-man squad.
