Croatia's Olic ruled out of Euro 2012

Croatia striker Ivica Olic has been ruled out of Euro 2012 because of a thigh injury.

The 32-year-old Olic suffered the injury in Croatia's 1-1 draw with Norway in a friendly over the weekend, leaving manager Slaven Bilic to sweat on the results of a scan, which revealed a partial rupture of a muscle in the forward's thigh.

As a result of the injury, Olic is expected to miss the next four to six weeks, leaving Bilic with no choice but to replace the Bayern Munich man with 24-year-old striker Nikola Kalinic.

Croatia will open its Euro 2012 campaign on June 10 against Ireland before facing Italy and Spain.
