Croatia striker Nikola Kalinich can leave the camp of Croatia at the World Cup, reports Football Italia.

The reason for this is called the failure of Kalinich to go on to replace the last five minutes of the match against Nigeria. In this case, the footballer referred to pain in the back.

As a result, on the field came midfielder Marco Piazza.

It is noted that this angered the head coach of Croatia Zlatko Dalich and he plans to exclude the striker from the team.

Recall, Croatia defeated Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup thanks to an own goal and a penalty.

Kalinich has been playing for the Croatian national team since 2008 and spent 42 matches (15 goals) for him, at the club level the forward played for Hajduk, Istri, Blackburn, Dnepr, Fiorentina and Milan,.
