After the stalemate between England and Ghana, Group L continues with Panama v Croatia – both of whom lost in Round 1.

Kick-off in Toronto is at 00:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Head coach Zlatko Dalic makes a couple of changes from last Wednesday’s 4-2 defeat, as Mateo Kovacic ($6.0m) and Marin Pongracic ($4.0m) replace Luka Vuskovic ($3.7m) and Petar Sucic ($4.2m).

Whether they’ll stay in a 3-4-2-1 formation remains to be seen.
