Pranjić to miss out on Russia friendly

Croatia's Danijel Pranjić felt some pain in his adductor muscle on Saturday, during the national team training session.

On Sunday, the pain did not go away at a new training session, so Croatia's head coach Ante Čačić and medical staff concluded that Pranjić should not take any risks and should skip the journey to Russia.

Therefore, 16 players will leave from Zagreb to Rostov on Don on Monday. The kick-off is scheduled at 19:00 local time (17:00 CET).

Danijel Pranjić not to travel with #Croatia to @official_rfs. We wish you a speedy recovery! https://t.co/VV9TgMk9KB pic.twitter.com/O2qCj7hsGB
