Inter winger Ivan Perisic confirms he is ‘feeling better’ after testing positive for Covid-19 and hopes to play again for Croatia at Euro 2020.
He had been their most impressive performer in the group stage with two goals and an assist.
Perisic was all due to start against Spain in tomorrow’s Round of 16 fixture, but late last night it emerged he had tested positive for the Coronavirus.
“As most of you already know, I’ve tested positive for Covid-19,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Thank you for all your messages. I am feeling better today, but I am very sad I won’t be able to help Croatia tomorrow and hopefully further on.
“With the support of our amazing fans, I am confident boys will play a great match. And who knows, maybe in the end I will play again at this tournament.
“Let’s go boys.”
