Luka Modrić suffered a hamstring injury this week vs. Girona and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, 90min.com reports. Modrić will miss out on the Copa del Rey Final (May 6th) and the 1st leg of the Champions League semifinal vs. Manchester City (May 9th). Maybe even the 2nd leg the following week. Modrić should fully recover for the Nations League semifinal vs. Netherlands June 14th.
As a Croatian, are you happy or sad with this news?
Modrić missing a big chunk of playing time in May will keep him fresh for the Nations League ties in June. However, he is still a huge factor in the Real Madrid midfield; who will need to be near perfect to defeat a juggernaut Manchester City side in the CL semifinals.
Which side are you on?
I want Real Madrid to beat City desperately and Modrić and the Vatreni to run rampant over the Dutch on their home soil. Is that too much to ask for?
Serves Real Madrid right for playing Modric in a meaningless game before the 3 biggest games of the season. He’s been playing too much. Could also be a trick to mess with Man City. Maybe he’ll be fit.
I really want Real to dump Man City, and love watching him play any chance I can get. Boo. And fresh versus rusty is a sporting argument that will probably never go away, for guys who have missed time.
