Lovren handed return to Croatia squad
Dejan Lovren has been recalled to national team duty with Croatia for the World Cup qualifier with Turkey, but Alen Halilovic is left out.
Dejan Lovren has returned to the Croatia squad for the World Cup qualifier against Turkey in September.
The Liverpool centre-back was omitted from the Euro 2016 squad after falling out with head coach Ante Cacic, amid reports that he demanded guarantees over his place in the first team.
Cacic made it clear he would not tolerate any ill discipline in his squad, but stated prior to the tournament in France: "I haven't closed the door on Lovren for good. He can return one day if he realises that he has to be a team player."
