Crown drops will only increase before the Sweden-Croatia match.
On Friday night Croatia announced that it has two more positive tests, including Inter player Marcelo Brozovic.
And there are concerns about more positive responses after a fateful flight.
Croatia suffered their second and third crown fall ahead of the Nations League game against Sweden on Saturday night.
Late on Friday, the association confirmed on its website that midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and a person on the coaching staff tested positive after testing all team members before the game.
“Brozovic’s club (Inter) and the Swedish epidemiologists have been notified of the tests. Both people have been isolated from the rest of the team,” the union wrote in a statement.
The Domagoj Vida hill has tested positive before. A response the team received in the middle of the game against Turkey this week.
Directly isolated
The website writes that it is probably “an old infection (long term positivity)”. Both were immediately isolated from others on the national team. Brozovic was a planned starter in the international game against Sweden.
That Brozovic has been infected by Vida does not seem impossible when you look at the social networks of the Inter player, where he posted a photo of Vida hanging on his back before the Turkey game.
The infected flew together
But there is also concern in the Croatian countryside that the infection may have been much more widespread. According to the Index news site, Domagoj Vida traveled to Istanbul and Turkey International from Zagreb in a plane with Marcelo Brozovic, national team captain Zlatko Dalic, Chelsea star Mateo Kovacic, Milan Badelj, Mislav Orsic and Dario Melnjak and other leaders of the national team.
According to Croatian information to Sportbladet, the team will be tested once more before kick-off against Sweden.
The Swedish national team already has the captain of the national team Janne Andersson isolated with the disease and today also came the news that midfielder Carl Starfelt tested positive.
The match against Croatia will be played on Saturday night with a kick-off at 8:45 p.m.
