Croatia vs Spain lineups: Predicted XIs, confirmed team news and injury latest for Nations League final
There remain some concerns over both Spain forward Rodrigo and Croatia defender Josip Sutalo, but both are expected to shake off any fitness worries to join their respective squads.
Luka Modric, at 37 years old, lasted 119 minutes on Wednesday but will again lead out his country as he looks to finally win silverware on the international stage. He will be joined by trusty pair Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic in midfield.
For La Roja, Marco Asensio may come into attack while Dani Carvajal will hope his semi-final starting berth on the bench was a rarity after seeing Jesus Navas picked ahead of him. Joselu is unlikely to be rewarded for his winner against Italy with a start in the final.
Predicted lineups
Croatia XI: Livakovic; Juranovic, Vida, Sutalo, Perisic; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Pasalic, Kramaric, Ivanusec
Spain XI: Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Alba; Merino, Rodri; Asensio, Gavi, Pino; Morata
