Modric quite certain to play in Euro 2024 if Croatia qualify, says Dalic

Croatia's 37-year-old captain Luka Modric is likely to feature for the national team at the Euro 2024 tournament despite his age should the team qualify, coach Zlatko Dalic said on Friday.

The playmaker was their driving force in midfield as they beat tournament favourites Brazil on penalties in the quarterfinals before losing to Argentina in the last four.

Croatia face Morocco in the third place playoff on Saturday before Argentina face France in the final on Sunday.

“I hope that he will be there (at the Euro 2024),” Dalic said of the diminutive Real Madrid playmaker. “I am looking forward to it.”
