Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic has confirmed that his scouts will attend all the matches involving their Group D opponents – Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland – at the World Cup this month.

“Yes, Ladic goes to America. I needed a man who would monitor Iceland’s game, Ivica Olic would probably look at the other game,” Dalic told Sportske Novosti.

“At the same time Nikola Jerkan will follow Argentina playing with Italy and Spain, while Ognjen Vukojevic will watch Nigerians against Poland and Serbia.

“We will collect all relevant information about the rivals from the group.”

Croatia and Nigeria will meet in their Group D opener on June 16 in Kaliningrad.
