The Croatian team returned to training on Friday at their training base in Moscow, only a couple of days after their energy-sapping semi-final victory over England.
The spine of the team, including star playmaker Luka Modric, leading goalscorer Mario Mandzukic and centre-half Domagoj Vida, were seen jogging and training.
Croatia will meet France in the World Cup final at Moscow's Luzhniki stadium on July 15.
