Borna Barisic is stressed out after making ONE appearance at the World Cup Finals in Qatar.
The Ibrox star sat out Croatia’s three group matches, came in for the last 16 tie against Japan then sat out the following matches against Brazil, Argentina and Morocco watching Josip Juranovic earning a bronze medal.
Micky Beale is expecting Barisic back in time to play against Motherwell next week but it seems that the new Ibrox boss can expect a long distance sick note to arrive.
The Sun reports Barisic saying:
I wore myself out to the maximum – both physically and mentally. Honestly, the tournament was very stressful.
Japan was the worst for me because I played and of course, it went to penalties too but in the end, it paid off. It’s what you become a footballer for.
I hope and live for the dream that one day I will return to Osijek with a gold medal from the World Cup and not just a bronze one.
Our hearts beat for the people of the city, because we know how proud you were and how much you enjoyed being with us throughout our journey. We are overjoyed that we could bring a medal to Osijek.
With Ridvan Yilmaz out with a long term injury Adam Devine has played at left-back in the last two SPFL matches.
