Rangers ace Borna Barisic in further injury blow as Croatia issue update on defender
Croatia have confirmed that Borna Barisic will not travel to Glasgow for their game against the Czech Republic at Hampden.
The Rangers defender missed Croatia's Euro 2020 opener against England due to a back injury and he now faces a race for fitness ahead of their last group game, against Scotland.
The Croatian FA wrote on Twitter: “Due to back injury, international Borna Barisic is to remain in team basecamp in Rovinj and miss the upcoming Euro 2020 encounter with Czech Republic in Glasgow.”
Croatia were defeated in their opening game as England ran out 1-0 winners thanks to a Raheem Sterling goal.
Qualification now hangs in the balance and much like Scotland they need to gain points from their second group stage fixture.
