CROATIA PLAYER SENT HOME IN DISGRACE
Croatia Manager Zlatko has sent player, Nikola kalinic home in disgrace from the World cup.
The team won their opening match on Saturday night, defeating Nigeria 2-0. Kalinic, was a substitute during the encounter. This was the fourth successive international fixture where he had been benched.
But in the 85th minute, Kalinic was asked to come into the match, rather he complained of a back problem and refused to enter the match. something which didn’t convince his manager.
Marko Pjaca, came on instead and Kalinic’s subsequent exit means Croatia have just Mario Mandzukic left within their squad as an out-and-out No.9.
A press conference will be held, where Dalic will discuss the situation further. Kalinic was secured by big-money move to AC Milan from Fiorentina last summer, but the 30-year-old scored just six times.
