Coach Dalić has selected players for the matches against Scotland and Poland

Croatia will gather on October 7 in Zagreb, where they will train until the match against Scotland at Maksimir. The bronze medalists will then travel to Warsaw on October 14, where they will conduct an official training session the day before the match against Poland.

After two rounds in Group 1 of League A, Croatia shares second place with Poland, having earned three points. First-placed Portugal is perfect after two home matches in September, while Scotland is at the bottom without any points. The top two teams will qualify for the Nations League quarterfinals, the last team will be relegated to League B, while the third-placed team will play a playoff to stay in League A.

Croatia is defending the silver medal from the previous edition of the Nations League, where they reached the finals by defeating France, Denmark, and Austria, winning against the Netherlands in the semifinals before facing Spain in the final, where they were less successful after a penalty shootout.
