The Croatian Football Federation announced that the national team captain Darijo Srna will have to return home to Metković, where yesterday his father Uzeiras bid farewell to this world.
The sad news was delivered to the Donetsk "Shakhtar" defender immediately after the match against Turkey, which ended in a Croatian victory of 1-0.
The rest of the team immediately left Paris and went to prepare for Friday's match against the Czech Republic, but Srna had to stay in the capital.
He will fly to Croatia today, and his participation in the upcoming matches is not yet guaranteed.
In the last group stage match, led by Srna, the national team will play against the Spaniards on June 21.
