  • Croatia have been excellent in Russia, but were uninspiring against Denmark.

    Croatia made nine changes as they recalled their leading names for the World Cup last-16 clash with Denmark in Nizhny Novgorod.

    Zlatko Dalic made wholesale alterations to his side for their final Group D game with Iceland, with qualification already secured.

    Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic were the only players to keep their places, with the likes of Ivan Rakitic, Mario Mandzukic and goalkeeper Danijel Subasic coming back in.

    Denmark, meanwhile, made just the two changes to the side that held France to a goalless draw in their last match, with defender Jonas Knudsen and forward Yussuf Poulsen coming in for Jens Larsen and Pione Sisto.

    The winner of the tie faces hosts Russia in the quarter-finals.
