Luka Modric Availability For Copa Del Rey Final Not In Danger, To Undergo Tests Today
Apart from the dented morale following the harrowing defeat at the hands of Girona earlier this week, Real Madrid fans had another major concern as midfield mainstay Luka Modric had to come off with a knock during the game.
The 37-year-old, who started the match at Estadi Montilivi, was withdrawn in the second period and was soon after spotted on the bench with an ice pack on his left thigh.
It sent alarm bells ringing among the fanbase, ahead of a crucial couple of weeks for the Merengues as they gear up to face CA Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final before the double-header against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.
But, according to a fresh report from AS, there is no reason to be worried about Modric and his fitness, as the 37-year-old club legend’s availability for the Copa del Rey final is not in danger.
The report states that the Croatian international rested yesterday at his home with there being no training scheduled. And he is set to undergo some tests today to determine the extent of his injury.
But the message coming through from the club is that there are no serious concerns surrounding the physical condition of Modric and that he will be available for the crucial games coming up next month.
There is a probability that the midfield icon, whose contract renewal is now being taken for granted, could be rested for the upcoming La Liga clash against UD Almeria so that he can arrive for the big games in May in tip-top shape.
Despite being 37 years old, Modric continues to be a permanent fixture in Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid setup. The midfielder has played 44 games across all competitions this term, scoring and assisting six goals apiece.
