MUCH-maligned former Saints man Dejan Lovren has been left out of Croatia's provisional 27-man squad for Euro 2016.
Lovren, who infamously left for Liverpool in the summer of 2014 after saying his head was already at Anfield, fell out with coach Ante Cacic in March and, as a result, has been dropped from the squad.
The 26-year-old was an unused substitute in a friendly and looked for guarantees he would get to start games.
"I haven't closed the door on Lovren for good," said Cacic, who took over for Croatia's final two qualifiers.
"He can return one day if he realises that he has to be a team player."
He added: "When it dawns on him that he can't look down on his team-mates, the staff and the coach, he will perhaps find a way to get back in."
Croatia are in Group D along with Czech Republic, Spain and Turkey.
