Danilo will start on the left side of defence once again, with Real Madrid centre back Eder Militao, who replaced Danilo at right back against Switzerland and played in the South Korea game, to play the same role against Croatia. Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic made two changes to his lineup, with Borna Sosa returning after missing their last 16 match against Japan due to sickness, and attacker Bruno Petkovic making way for Mario Pasalic to reinforce the midfield.
