Croatia vs Portugal Team News
Dominik Livakovic and Ante Budimir return having served bans, but Petar Sucic is suspended after his dismissal against Scotland. The former should return between the sticks, however Budimir is unlikely to displace Andrej Kramaric on the frontline. Kristijan Jakic meanwhile is a doubt having been forced off last time out.
Portugal will be without key men Cristiano Ronaldo, Pedro Neto, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes after they returned to their clubs following the 5-1 win over Poland with top spot secured. The latter is suspended anyway.
