It seems that Real Madrid are not lucky at this time of the year, especially 11 days (the ninth of next month) before meeting Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, as bad news falls on the Bernabéu from all sides.
The beginning was with the tough 2-4 loss to Girona last week in La Liga, then came the exceptional display and the broad 4-1 victory recorded by the "Citizens" against Arsenal in the Premier League, and today the "royal" announced that the Croatian star Luka Modric suffered a muscle injury in the hamstring that may keep him two weeks away from the stadiums.
The alarm bell at Real Madrid was sounded after Modric came out injured against Girona, and had to put ice due to some discomfort, and then initial tests confirmed that there was a hamstring injury in the left leg.
The Croatia captain will miss the LaLiga match against Almería and Real Sociedad and it will be almost impossible for him to play for his side in the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna in sixth next month.
The possibility of Modric participating in the first leg of the semi-finals of the main continental tournament remains in doubt and depending on the development of the veteran star's injury.
Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti explained that "Modric was injured in the Girona match and we do not know if he is participating in the cup final, we hope that he will recover soon to participate in the next important matches for the team."
No one disagrees on Modric's importance in Ancelotti's squad and system, and the team needs a star with the Croatia international's experience and skill at this important stage of the season, which is the stage of winning titles.
