Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has been included in the Croatia squad for next month's World Cup qualifying clash with Turkey.

The 27-year-old, who started as the Reds kicked off the new Premier League season with a 4-3 win at Arsenal on Sunday, has made Ante Cacic's latest 23-man selection as the road to Russia begins.

Croatia start their bid to reach the 2018 edition of the World Cup against Fatih Terim's team in Zagreb on September 5.
