Fifa has given Domagoj Vida a warning over his conduct but the Croatia defender is free to play against England in the World Cup semi-final.

Lifeline for Vida

After investigating the player's alleged anti-Russia comments after his team came through on penalties against the hosts, the decision was made not to add further sanctions.

Appearing alongside former Croatia international Ognjen Vukojevic - with whom he played at Dynamo Kiev - Vida said: "Glory to Ukraine."

The phrase has been used by Ukrainian anti-Russian nationalists, with Vukojevic adding: "This victory is for Dynamo and Ukraine."
