“I will wait till the last minute to announce the team to start the game (vs Croatia),” Rohr said at a press conference in Essentuki.

“I wish to see who is really fit.”

There are already speculations that Rohr will make a few changes to his usual starting XI as some of the top stars are still battling to be physically fit for the tournament.
