Inter’s Ivan Perisic To Start For Croatia Vs Portugal Tonight Italian Media Claim | OneFootball

Inter’s Ivan Perisic will start on the left wing for the Croatian national team in tonight’s UEFA Nations League clash versus Portugual according to a report from Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.

This season Perisic has been utilised as a left wing-back and striker by Inter but looks set to be deployed in a far more familiar position for himself by Croatian national team boss Zlatko Dalic at Hajduk Split’s Stadion Poljud.

Perisic will be in the starting XI with some familiar names, especially Real Madrid’s Luka Modric, who has drawn links to Inter in the past and former Inter midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who is a teammate of Modric’s at Real Madrid.

Other notable names include Zenit Saint Petersburg’s Dejan Lovren, Rangers’ Borna Barisic and CSKA Moscow’s Nikola Vlasic.

Probable Croatian national team starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Dominik Livakovic; Josip Juranovic, Marin Pongracic, Dejan Lovren, Borna Barisic; Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic; Josip Brekalo, Nikola Vlasic, Ivan Perisic; Ante Budimir.
