Prpic gets few minutes at FC Porto but called up by Croatia

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo15 September 2026 at 14:52

The Croatian defender Prpic, 21, was called up for his country's under-21 national team despite having accumulated only 90 minutes this season. All those minutes were played with FC Porto B, with no participation in the dragões' first team.

The young central defender's situation contrasts with the international call-up, raising questions about his status at the Portuguese club. The fact that he has yet to convince the Porto technical staff to let him play in the first team does not seem to have been an obstacle for the Croatian football federation to continue betting on him for the youth teams.

Why this matters

FC Porto readers closely follow the development of their young players, and this call-up represents an important opportunity for Prpić to gain international experience and visibility, even at a time when he has had limited playing time at the club. The call to the Croatian national team may also influence the player's future at the Porto club.
