The Liverpool defender will be allowed to return to the national team for future World Cup qualifiers should he apologise for his comments after the recent Hungary friendly

EXCLUSIVE

Dejan Lovren will play no part in Croatia's Euro 2016 campaign this summer following for his recent outburst,understands.The Liverpool centre-back reacted badly to being asked to warm-up, ending his exercises early before returning to his place on the bench in his country's 1-1 friendly draw with Hungary on March 26 in Budapest, angrily telling Sportske novosti: "I will either be in the starting XI or I will not go to the Euros!"Head coach Ante Cacic has revealed he held positive talks with Lovren on Sunday in a bid to calm the situation, and voiced the necessity for respect in a statement released on the Croatia Football Association website.It read: "We had an open conversation about everything, we want to keep that between us... I've said the national team is above every individual and I will not step away from that belief. There are no ultimatums in Croatian team and there has to be respect to Croatian jersey, team mates and coach."Dejan has his best years ahead of him, he plays good in Liverpool and I wish him to continue that way, I hope he will accept this decision in a mature way and realise that even the best players on Earth put themselves in service of the team rather than looking at themselves."That is the only acceptable way for Croatia national team player and only by thinking that way, Lovren could be a Croatia national team player in the future."However, nowhere in the statement does Cacic state Lovren's international status following his reprimand.Goal now understands Lovren will not travel to the European Championship in France, but Cacic has kept the door open for future World Cup qualifiers, in case Lovren accepts his mistake and apologises.Lovren though, has found support from club manager Jurgen Klopp regarding the national team issue. The 26-year-old has reportedly been told by the Liverpool boss that he would prefer the defender not travel to France for the competition if he is not going to play.
