Juventus striker Marko Pjaca is added to the prolonged Croatia's injury list ahead of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Finland.

Following his Monday attempt to practice at the Croatia national team training session, Marko Pjaca confirmed the previously sustained leg problem. On Tuesday, Pjaca underwent a MRI scan at St. Katarina hospital, and was diagnosed with fibula infraction. This rules him out of Kosovo (6 October) and Finland (9 October) encounters.

Pjaca joins Luka Modrić, Ivan Rakitić, and Dejan Lovren at the Croatia injury list.
