The main goalkeeper of the Croatian national team, Stipe Pletikosa, will most likely miss the first Euro 2004 match against Switzerland, as he injured his thigh during today's training.

The goalkeeper coach of the Croatian national team, Dražen Ladić, stated that the player felt sharp pain in his right thigh when he jumped to reach the ball.

Instead of Pletikosa on the field, we should see a backup goalkeeper from the club. The reserve goalkeeper in the national team is __.

Croatia is considered the main contender to challenge the favorites, England and France, in Group B. The Croats will play their first match against Switzerland on Sunday.
