Croatia vs England: Line-ups confirmed as Scott makes first start
England have named Alex Scott in the starting XI as both teams seek a key Group A3 result with three points each.
- Croatia and England kick off their UEFA Nations League Group A3 clash at 5:00pm BST on Saturday at Stadion HNK Rijeka, broadcast live on ITV1 with coverage beginning at 4:15pm.
- UEFA ordered the match played behind closed doors following crowd trouble involving Croatian supporters during a Nations League quarter-final against France last year, with sanctions handed down in May 2025.
- Croatian officials expect between 5,500 and 6,000 schoolchildren to fill the 8,200-seat stadium under UEFA regulations allowing children under 14 from schools and academies to attend free, alongside roughly 100 England supporters.
- Both teams enter level on three points after two group matches, with England second on goal difference and Spain leading after defeating both sides in Group A3.
- Harry Kane has scored in five consecutive matches for club and country as England pursues a third straight victory over Croatia following their 4-2 World Cup meeting less than four months ago.
