— Albania faces disciplinary charges for the behavior of its fans in the first game. UEFA says that included a “provocative message” allegedly displayed by fans, the throwing of objects, use of fireworks and a field invasion by a fan near the end of the game.— Croatia midfielder Nikola Vlasic didn’t take part in the team’s training session on Monday but is expected to be fit for Wednesday’s match. Vlasic came on as a second-half substitute against Spain.

— “We are not going to underestimate our opponents. We are in a ‘group of death’ and we know it is going to be hard to go through. Croatia are a tough team but we are preparing to give it our best.” – Albania defender Mario Mitaj.
