With Hakan Calhanoglu injured, the Croatian midfielder could slot in next to Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Barella in the engine room.

Indeed, Inter fans had a chance to see the 21-year-old’s qualities on full display in Croatia’s latest 2026 World Cup qualifier.

Sucic was among the best on the pitch, even earning a comparison with former Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric.

On the other hand, Henrique could start on the right flank.
