Dalic worried about fatigue ahead of England decided

The 52-year-old, who will be without injured Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic, is yet to taste defeat to Gareth Southgate's side having memorably beaten them 2-1 in the World Cup semi-final and then fought out a 0-0 draw in Croatia in their opening Nations League encounter.

A win for Croatia would take Dalic's men to the semi-finals of the Nations League and send England down to League B.

"We totally respect the England team," Dalic told reporters on Saturday.

"We learned a lot in both matches. I'm more worried about our team because we played against Spain two days ago.

"I'll try to get the best from my players."

Dalic, who was a surprise choice for the Croatia job when he was plucked from United Arab Emirates outfit Al Ain in 2017, said his players would be up for the task given the historic stadium they would be playing in.

"We don't need to be motivated. We play at Wembley, one of the most important stadiums in the world."
