The Croatian defender pushed himself to breaking point while chasing down international glory, but is closing on fitness and never considered a move

The 29-year-old starred at Russia 2018 as he helped his nation to a first final appearance, before coming unstuck against France.
Those efforts saw the centre-half push himself to breaking point, with his domestic employers unable to welcome him back into training ahead of the new Premier League season.
