Croatia have become the latest country to release their provisional World Cup squad ahead of the tournament kicking off in Qatar next month.

Zlatko Daliu0107's side, who beat England in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals before losing to France in the final, have named a 34-man squad.

FIFA stipulations meant that national teams had to submit a provisional squad, up to a maximum of 55 names, by October 21, before the deadline for a final 26-man squad on November 13, a week before the tournament gets underway.

Among the names in the Croatia squad are several Premier League players including Tottenham's Ivan Perisic, Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic and Southampton defender Duje Caleta-Car.
