Vedran Corluka is expected to line up for Croatia on Sunday

Tottenham full back Vedran Corluka has been handed a boost after he was passed fit to face the Republic of Ireland after suffering a hamstring injury in training.

Manager Slaven Bilic will force the full back, who is expected to leave Spurs this summer, to rest but expects him to line-up against the Irish in Poznan.

“Vedran felt pain in his hamstring,” Bilic told Vecernji list.

“It didn’t look serious but just in case we sent him to Warsaw for further tests.

“Luckily everything is okay with him and he will be able to play against Ireland.”
