Modrić continuing international career with Croatia
Luka Modrić has been named in Croatia's squad for the upcoming Nations League by coach Slaven Bilić. Modrić recently signed for another club season with AC Milan. When Croatia plays the Czech Republic on Sept. 26, Modrić will earn his 203rd cap at age 41. Only Cristiano Ronaldo has more international games, with 233 for Portugal and Lionel Messi, who retired from international soccer last week, had 207. Croatia will also face Spain and England in the group stage. Bilić suggests Modrić won’t play in all group matches.
