Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Croatia defender Borna Sosa is fit to face Brazil in Friday\u2019s World Cup quarter-final match in Qatar. The 24-year-old left back was to take part in the final training session ahead of the game at Education City Stadium, coach Zlatko Dalic said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Stuttgart player had missed the round-of-16 match against Japan because he was ill. We won\u2019t make many changes because the last 16 went great for us and our team,\u201d Dalic said.<\/p>\n

His team beat Japan on penalties after a tight match on Monday that was 1-1 after normal and extra time. Dalic said he would rather face favourites Brazil later in the tournament, but added that taking on the five-time world champions was the pinnacle of international football.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no better moment than playing against Brazil. Anyone could only dream of such a game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what Brazil means to the football world, but we do not have a lot to lose. We must fight them, must give our best. \u201d Brazil defender Alex Sandro, meanwhile, is set to miss the 6pm (15:00 GMT) clash against the 2018 runners-up as he continued to deal with hip issues.<\/p>\n

He was expected to take part in the final training session before the game \u201cbut probably won\u2019t be available\u201d for the match, coach Tite told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Alex Sandro suffered a hip injury during the group stage, and also missed Brazil\u2019s 4-1 thrashing of South Korea in the round of 16. The action will continue on Saturday, when Morocco will fight it out with Portugal and England with France for a place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
