Real Madrid have been dealt a huge blow as Luka Modric faces a month out with a knee injury.
Modric pulled up in training on Saturday morning, and a medical report after Zinedine Zidane’s Press conference for Madrid’s game against Eibar in La Liga on Sunday confirmed the worst.
“After tests carried out on our player Luka Modric at Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja, he has been diagnosed with a chondral injury to his left knee, pending recovery,” it read.
Eibar aside, the midfielder will initially miss Madrid’s Croatia’s upcoming 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Kosovo and Finland, plus Los Blancos’ matches versus Real Betis, Legia Warsaw, Athletic Bilbao and possibly Alaves.
