Croatia
Marcelo Brozović is
expected to return to the lineup after losing his place to Andrej Kramarić in
last game against Russia. This would lead skipper Luka Modric to play on more
attacking role.
Dejan Lovren and Danijel
Subasic both are doubtful through minor knocks.
Croatia will remain
without full-back Sime Vrsaljko due to injury which means Vedran Corluka will
get a starting place.

Henderson both are doubtful through injury, however the latter is expected to
return despite of hamstring problem.
Kyle Walker, Dele Alli
