Real Madrid Handed Luka Modric Injury Blow Ahead of La Liga Clash With Levante

Real Madrid have confirmed Luka Modric has sustained a muscular injury to his right leg while away on international duty, and while no date has been set for his return, he will likely miss the club's upcoming clash with Levante on Saturday.

Modric had been away with Croatia over the recent break, playing every minute of his side's 4-0 victory over Slovakia and subsequent 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan as the Blazers moved to the top of their Euro 2020 qualifying group.

Having scored in the draw with Azerbaijan, it appeared as though Modric had finished the match unscathed, but a report on Madrid's official website has confirmed the club doctors have discovered an injury he picked up while away with the national side.
