*Croatia secured qualification with a play-off victory over Turkey
|
Croatia boss Slaven Bilic has been forced to leave defender Dejan Lovren out of his final Euro 2012 squad due to injury.
The Lyon centre-back has failed to recover from a foot problem he sustained in last month's Coupe de France final success over Quevilly.
Lovren is one of four players cut from Bilic's provisional panel, with Hajduk Split goalkeeper Goran Blazevic, Dinamo Zagreb defender Sime Vrsaljko and Dnipro attacker Nikola Kalinic also having been axed.
Croatia play Norway in Oslo on Friday before heading for Poland, where they will kick off their European Championship campaign against Republic of Ireland on June 10.
The Croats, who qualified courtesy of a play-off win over Turkey, also have Italy and Spain for company in Group C.
