Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic has warned Southampton striker Mislav Orsic that he must play more for his club.
The 30-year-old has 27 caps for his nation so far in his career, but may not play in their coming European qualifiers.
He is in the Croatia squad, but Dalic has warned Orsic that he may not be match fit as compared to some of his colleagues.
"I feel sorry for Ora, he is not part of the club, but I don't want to lose him," the manager said during a press conference.
He is not in shape, but I want to give him a chance to try to come back.
If he doesn't constantly play in the club, unfortunately, he won't be able to play for the national team either."
