Nations League: Croatian defender Gvardiol forfeits

Croatian central defender Josko Gvardiol, one of the revelations of the last World Cup, is forfeited for the final phase of the League of Nations in the Netherlands (June 14-18), his federation (HNS) announced on Saturday. The RB Leipzig player suffers “from an injury to the abdominal wall. Despite his efforts and intensive treatment, he cannot be ready for the last four,” the Croatian Football Federation wrote in a statement.

Gvardiol (21 caps, 2 goals) was one of Croatia's best players at the 2022 World Cup, finishing third. He burst the screen with his beard and protective mask, after a nose injury. In his absence coach Zlatko Dalic has the choice between Josip Sutalo, Domagoj Vida and Martin Erlic in central defense. Croatia face the Netherlands in Rotterdam on Wednesday (9:00 p.m.) in the semi-final of the League of Nations. The other half opposes Thursday in Enschede (9:00 p.m.) Italy to Spain.
