[2024 European Cup Croatia] Croatia have been ever-present at the Euros and here we look at their Euro 2024 squad...


Croatia will be working towards claiming a ticket past the quarter-final which is the bare minimum target when they head to the Euro 2024 in June.

Since 1996, Croatia has successfully qualified for every Euros except the 2000 edition, held in Belgium and the Netherlands. The team's notable achievements include reaching the quarter-finals twice, in 1996 and 2008.

They will be looking to beat their best result when they head for the 2024 edition. But who has made Zlatko Dalic's squad for the Euro 2024?

 

GOALKEEPERS

Fenerbahce's Dominik Livakovic is the senior-most and first-choice goalkeeper for Croatia at the moment and he is expected to be a guaranteed name on the team sheet at the Euros. He has over 50 caps to his name and will hope to put up a clinical show as Croatia hope to go past the quarter-finals of the competition.

Nediljko Labrović and Ivica Ivušić are the back-ups in the squad and can step in if needed.

 

Name    Club

Dominik Livaković    Fenerbahçe

Nediljko Labrović    Rijeka

Ivica Ivušić    Pafos

 

DEFENDERS

Domagoj Vida and Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol are expected to play a vital role at the back for Croatia. Supporting them via the flanks are likely to be Bayer Leverkusen's Josip Stanisic and Union Berlin's Josip Juranovic.

Lyon centre-back Duje Caleta-Car missed out on a place in the squad, but Borna Sosa is another capable choice at the back and is on the roster.

 

Name    Club

Josip Stanišić    Bayer Leverkusen

Marin Pongračić    Lecce

Joško Gvardiol    Manchester City

Martin Erlić    Sassuolo

Borna Sosa    Ajax

Domagoj Vida    AEK Athens

Josip Juranović    Union Berlin

Josip Sutalo    Ajax

 

MIDFIELDERS

The midfield is arguably Croatia's strongest department and it has been that way for many years now. It will be difficult to get into a midfield that is formed by the captain Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic. They have a combined total of over 350 appearances for the national team.

However, in their absence, the likes of Nikola Vlasic, Lovro Majer and Mario Pasalic can step in and get the job done as well.

 

Name    Club

Lovro Majer    VfL Wolfsburg

Mateo Kovačić    Manchester City

Luka Modrić    Real Madrid

Marcelo Brozović    Al Nassr

Nikola Vlašić    Torino

Mario Pašalić    Atalanta

Luka Ivanušec    Feyenoord

Luka Sucic    Red Bull Salzburg

Martin Baturina    Dinamo Zagreb

 

FORWARDS

Andrej Kramaric is the best performer among the national team forwards available for selection and he is expected to lead the line at the Euros. Ivan Perisic and Marco Pasalic are expected to support him from wide areas.

Josip Brekalo has been excluded, but Ante Budimir, Marko Pjaca and Bruno Petkovic are all in the squad, fit for selection.

 

Name    Club

Andrej Kramarić    Hoffenheim

Bruno Petković    Dinamo Zagreb

Marko Pjaca    Rijeka

Marco Pašalić    Rijeka

Ivan Perisic    Hajduk Split

Ante Budimir    Osasuna
