Croatia confirm Milan striker Nikola Kalinic returns home
“During the Nigeria match, Kalinic was warming-up and should have come in the second half,” Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic confirmed.
“However, he said he wasn’t ready to go on because he felt a back problem. He did the same thing against Brazil and England, saying he wasn’t ready, and for yesterday’s training session too.
“I accepted it calmly, because I need ready and healthy players who can help their teammates. He’s not like that, on three occasions he hasn't been ready, so I made this decision.”
