Modric Adds to Real Madrid’s Injury Woes with Thigh Problem

By Daily Sports on September 13, 2019

Luka Modric has intensified the injury headache being endured by Real Madrid, with the midfielder nursing a thigh complaint.

The Blancos have been stung by a string of fitness problems in the 2019-20 campaign.

That is making selection calls testing for Zinedine Zidane, with the Frenchman unable to pick from a fully-stocked talent pool.

It could be that he is without Modric for the foreseeable future, with Real confirming that the Ballon d’Or winner is struggling with a niggling knock.

A statement released on the club’s official website read: “Following the tests carried out today on our player Luka Modric by Real Madrid’s medical department, he has been diagnosed with a muscular injury to the adductor in his right leg.

“His recovery will continue to be assessed.”

Modric has taken in two La Liga appearances for Real this season, with a red card collected in his first against Celta Vigo.

He returned to domestic action in a 2-2 draw with Villarreal, with Zidane introducing him off the bench in that contest.

The 34-year-old then headed off on international duty with Croatia.

He figured in Euro 2020 qualifiers against Slovakia and Azerbaijan, with the target found against the latter in a 1-1 stalemate.

Any hopes Real had of seeing Modric build on that effort appear to have been dashed. (Reuters)
