  "account": "Croatia will take on England in a UEFA Nations League match on Saturday, October 3rd, at Stadion NHK Rijeka. The game kicks off at 5pm BST. Croatia's team news includes key absences in defense, with Martin Erlić and Josip Juranović both unavailable. However, defender Josip Stanišić may return, and rising star Luka Vušković could make his debut. Dominika Livaković is set to start in goal, while Joško Gvardiol is expected to form the defense with him. England, on the other hand, will be without several regulars including Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, and Marcus Rashford. Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is expected to return from injury, alongside a potential start for Ezri Konsa. Manager Thomas Tuchel's team boasts an attacking lineup headed by Harry Kane, with support from Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka. Historically, England holds the upper hand against Croatia, having defeated them 4-2 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage.",
