Captain Darijo Srna is expected to be available for Croatia's second Group D match against the Czech Republic on Friday after travelling back home for his father's funeral on Monday, assistant coach Ante Mise said.
 "It is all comes down to how he feels but knowing Darijo, I am convinced he will be back and available to face the Czechs on Friday," Mise said. "A Croatian FA delegation, including coach Ante Cacic, accompanied Srna to attend the funeral and they will be back this evening, while Srna can return whenever he is ready. We had no time to talk about whether he will be back in time for the Czech game."
The 34-year-old right back learned shortly after Croatia's 1-0 win over Turkey in their Group D opener in Paris on Sunday that his father had died during the game. Srna is Croatia's most capped player with 131 international appearances and has scored 22 goals for his country.
