Luka Sucic out of Croatia with tonsillitis, Real's fourth absence

Luka Sucic will not travel with Croatia for the Nations League. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Real Sociedad midfielder has tonsillitis and will stay in Donostia during the break, so he will miss the games against England at Wembley and Czech Republic at home.

He is the fourth Real Sociedad player to drop out of his national squad in just a few days, after Sarr, Barrenetxea and Oyarzabal, the latter only partially. Sucic was in excellent form and started against Rayo last Sunday.

He was absent from Tuesday's training session at Zubieta, but he is expected to be available next Monday, when the club begins preparing the league match against Racing. Croatia, who could still be relegated from their division, will have to play without him.
