Our upcoming friendly against Bosnia will be yet another test for our depleated Vatreni.
This game is crucial to us if we hpe to break the scoring drought and win our second to last game before May.(one against Hungary to go)
The Bosnian press has given us grief, the media in Croatia has blasted Jozic and his ineffective attacking preformances, the players are relying on a good game while the fans are hoping for some fluid football and a good scoreline.
Tudor is out, definitely, so is Simic. Jarni is questionable as he did not play for 2 weeks.
A likely contender might be Tomas, although he's not really a defender, he has been used back there for Dinamo.
While the Bosnian Salihamidzic is flying, he has become a truly great player, one the likes of which is hard to find in the Croatian squad.
Bolsic has not played for Boro due to light injuries, Suker is also on the bench, Vlaovic comes off it for 15 minute stretches.
Things do not look good for this friendly encounter, maybe another draw is in the cards?

So that leaves our back line in tatters. Simunic will surely start, so will Kovac and Zivkovic. Who will take Simic's spot?Dario Simic has been ruled out of Croatia's friendly with Bosnia after collecting an injury playing for Internazionale against Atalanta on Sunday.
"I spoke with Mirko Jozic and told him the news. It's obvious I will miss the game," the 26-year-old confirmed.
Inter doctors have only diagnosed a slight strain, but Simic has been told to rest for two weeks.
The imposing centre-back nonetheless hopes to return before the end of the campaign. "Maybe the season is not over for me yet. If I return in three weeks, I could still play one or two games," he said.
