In the last training session before the matchup, Krunoslav Simon left practice early. The former Anadolu Efes Istanbul forward felt discomfort in his knee while landing after a jump and finished the evening with ice treatment.

The status of the 37-year-old player is currently unknown.

"We will see in the morning what the situation is," head coach of the national team Damir Mulaomerovic told in the press conference yesterday. "I hope it is nothing serious."

Croatia will face Greece at 17:00 CET in probably the most awaited matchup of Day 2. Both teams are placed in Group C together with Estonia, Ukraine, Great Britain, and Italy.
