WARKA, Poland -- Croatia could lose its second player in as many days, with defender Vedran Corluka injuring a hamstring during training on Thursday for the European Championship. Denarius Moore Elite Jersey . Corluka, who has been on loan at German club Bayer Leverkusen from Tottenham, left training early after complaining of pain. He is due to have a medical test on Friday morning. His injury came hours after Croatia received permission from UEFA to include 20-year-old midfielder Sime Vrsaljko for Ivo Ilicevic, who pulled his left calf muscle on Wednesday. Star midfielder Luka Modric, however, is believed to have fully recovered from an exhausting season with Tottenham. Croatia coach Slaven Bilic had put Modric on a special training program in acknoweldgement that the player as jaded and needed to be refreshed. That and joining most members of the squad late have helped recharge him, Bilic said. Bilic, who is quitting at the end of the tournament after six years in charge, needs Modric to be at the top of his game if Croatia is going to get out of one of the toughest groups, let alone bid for the title. Modrics form dipped toward the end of a season that ended in disappointment. Tottenham had been fighting for a spot in the Champions League but was denied the opportunity after Chelsea won the competition by beating Bayern Munich in the final. "He played every game when he was available, he was a bit tired," Bilic said. "Hes ready to play his role, which is very important for us." Croatia plays its first Group C game on Sunday against Ireland in Poznan, Poland. Spain and Italy make up the group. Elvis Andrus Jersey .

Louis Cardinals. The Rockies optioned the 26-year-old former first-round draft pick to Triple-A Colorado Springs.TORONTO – Shoulders hunched low, eyes stirring with emotion, the loss hung painfully on Jonas Gustavsson. "Even if it skips, you cant let those in," he said softly. "Youve got to almost expect that and try to squeeze everything so it cant really find a way in there." A point shot off the stick of Mark Fayne trickled awkwardly past the 27-year-old, thwarting the Leafs attempt at a comeback as they fell for the sixth time in seven games (1-5-1), a 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils on Tuesday night. Managing to salvage a point, the Leafs held firm in eighth in the Eastern Conference with 65 points – tied with the Jets with two games in hand – ultimately undone by a shaky performance between the pipes. "Of course it doesnt feel good right now," Gustavsson continued, emotion raw in his voice. "Every time we lose a game I dont feel good about it. But obviously when it happens like that of course you know youve couldve done better and thats what going to be in my head maybe tonight. "Its too bad. The guys worked real hard to get back into this game and a thing like that happens. I feel bad for them." Phil Kessel knotted the score at three with 44 seconds left in regulation –his team-leading 31st goal of the year – as the Leafs clawed back from a 2-0 deficit opposite a Devils squad which had wins in eight of the previous ten games. The night was generally uneasy for Gustavsson even before the overtime winner. The Devils second and third goals – David Clarkson and Alexei Ponikarovsky – both managed to sneak through five-hole in deflating circumstance. Ultimately though it was Faynes skip-shot that stung the most. "I know I can stop that shot so its not about going back to practice tomorrow [to] try to change my strategy," Gustavsson concluded. "Its just about maybe paying extra focus in those situations and [then] bad things like this dont happen." Five Points 1. Just the latest in a string of unstable performances, goaltending has become a considerable point of weakness for the Leafs as the stretch drive kicks into high gear. Both Gustavsson and James Reimer have struggled in recent weeks, forcing Ron Wilson into an unsettling rotation. "Weve got to find a way to get them settled down and try to find them a way of getting some confidence," Wilson said. A month earlier, the Leafs had at least one sturdy option in Gustavsson, but hes since fallen into a rut losing four consecutive starts (0-2-2). "Youve got to work hard in practice and correct your mistakes," Wilson said of his advice to the goaltenders. "Youve got to be focused – thats for both goalies – focused going in, not thinking bad things are going to happen. And nail your style down, be aggressive; if youre going to make mistakes dont make passive mistakes." 2. Questioned on Gustavssons poor showing after the game, Dion Phaneuf responded in kind. "To be honest with you, we win as a team and lose as a team," he said. "Theres no blame, theres no pointing any fingers, its a team game…Were going to look at the positives, were going to take the point that we got and move forward." 3. Whiile it wasnt the double they were after, the Leafs were pleased to snatch at least the single point in defeat. Usama Young Jersey. "Its disappointing to lose," Clarke MacArthur said, "but at the same time were pretty happy getting a point being down 2-0 to a team like that, who makes a living winning games like that. We stuck with it, maybe a bad break in overtime there, but it was a good effort by our team." Added Wilson of the comeback effort, "No matter what was happening in the game we hung in there. We had a few rough patches, but the Devils are as hot as anybody right now and playing really well. Their goalies been playing well and we stuck with it. It took us 59 and a half minutes to tie the game, its just disappointing what happened in overtime." MacArthur tied the score at two in the middle frame – his 18th of the year - completing a nifty set of passing plays from Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin. The goal snapped a six-game drought for the 26-year-old. 4. Generally quiet during the Leafs recent skid, the Grabovski line had its best night in weeks, engaging on both ends of the ice. "Grabo and his linemates play best when theyre given a defensive assignment," Wilson noted. Handed the task of slowing Zach Parise, Ilya Kovalchuk and Adam Henrique, the line managed to emerge with a plus-rating, chipping in with a goal for just the second time in the last seven games. 5. Joey Crabb identified a pair of missing intangibles before Tuesdays game, the first of four straight at home for the Leafs. "Weve just got to bring up our intensity and focus every shift," he told TSN.ca. "I think thats a lot of the mistakes and problems we have is obviously just not focusing while were out there for the full sixty minutes…Our intensity has been down a little bit lately and I think we need to bring a little more of that and a little more grit to our game." Crabb maintains that recent defensive woes have been caused by a lack of focus. "Every goal [against] is a mistake," he said. "Sometimes teams and players, they make unbelievable plays and you cant really defend them, but for the most part [recently] every one of them can be cleaned up and like I said, thats just everybody focusing for sixty minutes." Crabb notched an assist in nearly 15 minutes of ice-time on Tuesday. Bonus Points With the late goal, Kessel matched a career-high with his 64th point of the season. The 24-year-old set the mark last season…Tim Connolly scored his ninth goal of the season in the opening frame, deflecting a Cody Franson shot past Martin Brodeur. It was just Connollys second goal and fifth point in the last 20 games...Grabovski snapped a six-game pointless streak with an assist on MacArthurs goal…The Leaf powerplay was 0-2 in defeat, dropping to 6-54 in the last 18 games. The unit has dropped to ninth overall at 18.9%...The Leafs and Devils had split the previous two meetings…Carl Gunnarsson logged 22:43 in his first game back from an ankle injury…Phaneuf dropped the gloves for the third time this season, a first period scrap with Clarkson. The fight followed an elbow from Phaneuf on Parise. ' ' '
