Croatia suffer Knezevic blow
17 Jun 2008 - 16:54:23
Croatia coach Slaven Bilic has confirmed that Dario Knezevic will play no further part in this summer's tournament.
The 26-year-old Livorno defender sustained a knee injury in Monday's 1-0 Group B win over Poland in Klagenfurt.
He was forced to limp out of the action in the first half and was replaced by Vedran Corluka.
"His injury is not serious in the long term, but he is out of the European Championship with strained knee ligaments," said Bilic.
"It is a huge blow for us because he is a strong centre-back."
Meanwhile, midfield duo Darijo Srna and Ivan Rakitic missed Tuesday's training session with minor knocks.
