Luka Modric will be on the sidelines for three months with a
thigh injury, according to a statement released by the Croatian Football
Federation (HNS) on Tuesday.
Modric sustained the injury just before the half-hour mark during Sunday’s Uefa Euro 2016 qualifying draw in Italy.
A statement on the HNS website read: “The Croatian national team and Real Madrid midfielder will be away from the football pitch for about three months after the injury sustained in the encounter between Italy and Croatia.
“Modric, in the 28th minute of the match at the San Siro, had to ask for
a substitution after experiencing pain in the muscle, and MRI scans in
Madrid showed that it was a serious injury.”
European champions Real revealed the 29-year-old had suffered a “tear
of the left proximal rectus femoris tendon” on Monday, but did not put a
timescale on his recovery.
As it stands, Modric is not expected to play football until late February 2015.
