He was arguably Croatia’s best player at the World Cup in Brazil, but coach Niko Kovač will be without the services of Ivan Perišić for the start of the EURO 2016 qualifying campaign…
Perišić has undergone surgery on his shoulder after injuring it early in the final of the Telekom Cup between his Wolfsburg side and Bayern Munich. The left-footed attacking midfielder is expected to be out of action for up to three months, meaning he will miss Croatia’s EURO 2016 qualifiers against Malta, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan and possibly Italy.
