Olić, Perišić and Halilović recovering according to plan

HSV striker Ivica Olić is recovering from thigh injury and should be back in training during the next week.

His former teammate, Ivan Perišić of Wolfsburg, has an adductor problem. In two weeks' time, he should also return to his club's training sessions.

Young midfielder Alen Halilović, who plays for Barcelona B in Spanish Segunda, is expected to be back in two or three weeks after a left knee ligament injury.

Croatia will host Norway on 28 March in Zagreb, in one of the key European qualifiers on the road to France. The winner can make a significant step forward towards the final tournament.
