Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric will be out for around three months after he suffered a thigh injury while playing for his national side, Croatia. The 29-year-old playmaker had to pull out during the first half of the Euro 2016 qualifying match against Italy.
Real Madrid revealed the former Tottenham player had torn a tendon in his thigh but avoided to disclose how long he would be out for. The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) stated that most likely he will be out of action until after the New Year.
"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," a Croatian Football Federation statement read. Modric has been a key player this season for Real Madrid, who are leading the Primera Liga table and have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League with four wins out of four games.
Real Madrid are 4/9 at Bet365 to win the Primera Liga title this season.

After selling Xabi Alonso Real Madrid have problem with this position. I think that Luka Modric is only player in Real Madrid who can play well on this position, Kross is not well in defense and Illara is just not so good. And that is why this is very bad news for real madrid. But we can see that this don't effect on their...

Interesting news from Real. It would be very tough for them to find a proper change for Modric, because he is player who has great creativity. Maybe Kross in some aspects but generaly they will need to change their game a little if they want to maintain their good form. I believe that they have enough quality to overcame...

This is very bad news for Real Madrid, but i can see Kroos as very good replacement for Luka's spot in the team. Lack of good players on that position can be thing to worry in Real. But as spark told, strikers are in very good form, so there should not suffer too much.

I don't know why Modric is so important to Real Madrid. I mean Real have a lot of great players and I am sure that they will be fine without Modric. For me Modric is overrated and he doesn't deserve to be in Real madrid. He isnt quick, doesn't have great shot, he is weak, I mean just compare him to yaya toure and you will...

For me Modric is overrated and he doesn't deserve to be in Real madrid. He isnt quick, doesn't have great shot, he is weak, I mean just compare him to yaya toure and you will see difference and you will see how much yaya toure is better and they play same position. But I wish modric quick recover.

It is terrible news for Real Madrid fans, Modric has been very important in both defensive and offensive tasks. Toni Kroos will sure make his absence easier for the team but the lack of replacement is a problem, but not a big one. The Real Madrid strikers are at their best so the team shouldn't suffer much.
