Team report: Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic recalled Dejan Lovren to his side as the World Cup finalists aim to get their Euro 2020 campaign up and running against the Czech Republic in Glasgow on Friday.

Lovren was a stalwart of Croatia’s memorable run in Russia three years ago, but had been dropped for Marseille’s Duje Caleta-Car for Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to England.

Josip Brekalo replaces Marcelo Brozovic in Croatia’s only other change.

The Czechs make just one alteration to the side that broke Scotland hearts on home soil on Monday.

Tomas Holes replaces Alex Kral in midfield.

Patrick Schick leads the line upfront and will be aiming to continue his stunning form at Hampden after scoring twice against the Scots, including the goal of the tournament so far with a stunning strike from just short of 50 metres.

Victory for the Czechs would book their place in the last 16.
