England defender John Stones believes facing Croatia in an empty stadium in the Nations League will be a "strange situation."
Gareth Southgate's men meet Croatia in Rijeka on Friday in a rematch of their World Cup semi-final, but a completely different atmosphere awaits.
The hosts are serving a ban for a punishment handed to them in 2015, when a swastika pattern was seen on their pitch during a Euro 2016 qualifier against Italy.
Stones is prepared for the unusual situation, but he insists it will have a bigger impact on the hosts.
"We spoke about it during the week, how to handle it, what we're coming into and that we're coming into this game with none of our fans and especially none of their fans, which will play a bigger part on their behalf," the Manchester City defender told UK newspapers.
