Croatia midfielder Luka Modric says FIFA showed "they don't care about players" after his side's 1-0 win over Kosovo that was suspended due to poor weather and completed the next day, per Matthew Scott at Goal.

Modric's side won the game 1-0, but it took place over two days, with the initial fixture called off after just 22 minutes on Saturday due to an "unplayable" pitch, per the report.

The two sides then completed the match at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, Croatia, and Modric's team must now play again, as they face Turkey in FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifying on Tuesday.
