Modric '100 per cent fit' to face Cameroon

Croatia boss Nico Kovac has revealed that Luka Modric is ‘100 per cent fit’ to face Cameroon this evening.

The Real Madrid man has been in a race to be fit for the game in Manaus on Wednesday after suffering a foot injury in their first game against Brazil.

However, the Coach has claimed that the former Tottenham playmaker has been through tests and will play against the African’s – a game they have to win.

“Luka is going to be 100 per cent fit," he told reporters.

“He did well Tuesday and Monday in training, no problems there. He will be 100 per cent match fit."

“We know what this match means to us and Cameroon. We’ve come here to play football and win three points because it means so much to us.

“Let’s not dwell on the maths, let’s focus on the game and the three points.”
