Luka Modric Injury: Updates on Real Madrid Star's Knee and Return

Luka Modric's injury-plagued 2014-15 season took another turn for the worse on Saturday, as the Real Madrid star suffered another injury in the team's match against Malaga. 

The midfielder was enjoying an excellent season until Croatia's Euro 2016 qualifier against Italy in November, when he had to withdraw from the match in the first half with an apparent thigh injury.

That injury turned out to be significant, forcing the 29-year-old to spend nearly four months on the sideline.

Los Blancos used youngster Isco as a deep-lying midfielder next to Toni Kroos and continued their excellent run of results, but while Isco performed admirably, he doesn't have Modric's sheer passing range and vision.
