Head coach Čačić selects Croatia squad for November matches

Croatia national football team will meet on Monday in Zagreb, ahead of the important European qualifiers encounter against Iceland on 12 November. This match will be played at Maksimir Stadium behind closed doors due to FIFA sanctions, with kick-off scheduled at 18:00 CET.

Three days later, on 15 November, Croatia will face Northern Ireland for the first time in history, in a friendly international at Windsor Park in Belfast. Kick-off is scheduled at 19:45 local time.

Croatia head coach Ante Čačić has called-up 23 players, with Matej Mitrović eventually replacing Dejan Lovren. Marko Pjaca is to miss out in this month's international action due to injury, and Čačić will call-up another player following the club matches this weekend.
