Five Serie A players have been picked in the preliminary Croatia squad for Euro 2020 this summer.

Croatia CT Zlatko Dalic has picked his provisional squad for the competition this summer and has not overlooked the stars in the Italian top flight.

Two Inter players and one Milan player come together to fight for their nation, as Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic join from the Nerazzurri and Ante Rebic arrives from their local rivals.

Milan Badelj of Genoa has been called up and Atalanta forward Mario Pasalic has been picked too.

Atalanta pair Mario Pasalic and Josip Ilicic were both on target in today’s World Cup qualifiers, while Hakan Calhanoglu’s Turkey stunned Norway.

The break for international duty means many Serie A players are all over Europe playing for their countries in the race for a spot at the 2022 World Cup.

Atalanta midfielder Pasalic celebrated his first competitive goal for Croatia after some friendly efforts and it proved the winner as they squeezed past Cyprus 1-0.

Atalanta star Josip Ilicic discusses why he chose to represent Slovenia after a traumatic childhood and how Sinisa Mihajlovic inspired him to ‘enjoy every second.’

Ilicic will play in tonight’s 2022 World Cup qualifier for Slovenia against Croatia, but he technically could’ve represented either nation, as well as Bosnia-and-Herzegovina.

“I grew up in Slovenia, that country gave me everything, so it’s logical for me that I should play for them,” Ilicic told 24sata.hr.

The latest coronavirus case doesn’t stop Inter from resuming training and the players can travel for international duty, according to Sky Sport Italia.

The broadcaster reveals the positive case of a member of the team group is not of the technical staff and since all the players have tested negative, they will be given the go ahead to travel for the upcoming international games.

Croatia CT Zlatko Dalic expects that Inter duo Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic will join the national team. ‘I have good news’.

Inter players were banned from travelling by the local health authority of Milan, but the latest reports reveal that the national teams have requested their players to finish the quarantine period in their respective home countries.

The local health authority will let Inter players travel for international duty if all the swabs are negative, but the Nerazzurri can only train.

Inter players were banned from travelling ahead of the World Cup qualifiers this month, as the club announced five cases of coronavirus last week.

The club were ordered into total quarantine until midnight on Sunday, meaning the players weren’t even allowed to train.

Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in Spain’s historic 6-0 demolition of Germany, while Marko Rog saw red for Croatia in a 3-2 defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.

The game of the night was undoubtedly in Seville, where Spain went head-to-head with Germany for the top of Group 4, and achieved it in quite extraordinary fashion.

Juventus striker Morata began the rout with a header at the back post, then saw yet another goal ruled offside, this one a decision that might’ve been overturned if VAR had been available.

Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic is returning to Italy today in a private jet after he tested positive for Covid-19 while on international duty with Croatia.

The Croatian FA confirmed his departure with a statement, noting he was already isolated from the rest of the squad.

Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic has tested positive for coronavirus during international duty with Croatia.

Domagoj Vida took to the pitch while positive for COVID-19 and the fear of possible infections has turned into reality.

The Croatia defender was informed he tested positive after playing the first half against Turkey on Wednesday and was brought off after the initial 45 minutes.

The 31-year-old was isolated, but Croatia has confirmed Brozovic has now tested positive.
