Concern in Croatia over Livakovic's lack of playing time with Barcelona

Dominik Livakovic's situation as a goalkeeper at FC Barcelona has raised concerns for the coaching staff of the Croatia national team due to his lack of participation with the Catalan team since joining last summer.

Slaven Bilic, the coach of the Croatia national team, has stated that training with FC Barcelona cannot replace match experience, saying: "It is not good not to participate; he can train very well, but he needs playing minutes."

Dominik Livakovic, aged 31, has joined FC Barcelona from Fenerbahçe for €2 million plus add-ons, and he has signed a contract until 2030. However, he has only participated in one official match against Sevilla, as Flick has relied on Juan Garcia as the starter and has Wojciech Szczesny among his goalkeeping options.

Croatian media have begun to question Dominik Livakovic's position as the starting goalkeeper for the national team, with Dominik Kotarski and Ivor Pandur mentioned as potential replacements against England. Lilic has not ruled out changing the goalkeeper in the future, confirming that the decision will be made in the best interest of the team.
