Luka Modric recovering well
Just five days after undergoing an anthroscopy in his left knee, Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric returned to the gym on Friday as part of his rehabilitation process. Following his session he spoke with Real Madrid TV about his recovery and appeared optimistic.
“It hasn’t been long since the operation but I’m feeling better every day,” he said. “It’s hard now at the start but we have to do things right. Hopefully I’ll be back to full strength as soon as possible… or even sooner than that!”
Modric's knee operation went well
The Croatian appears to have taken the bandaging off his knee, a sign that the operation went well.
Modric faces up to a month on the sidelines
Modric injured his knee on the 18th September during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Espanyol and was rested against Villarreal before returning to the side – in some discomfort – against Las Palmas and Borussia Dortmund.
He underwent medical tests on 1st October, after which it was revealed that he was suffering from a cartilage injury in his left knee, and is scheduled to be out injured for around a month. In addition to last weekend’s home draw with Eibar, Modric is expected to miss games against Real Betis, Legia Warsaw, Athletic Bilbao and Alavés.
