Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Luka Modric will play against Manchester City in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg at the Bernabeu.
The Croat has missed the last three games with a thigh injury suffered at the end of April. Los Blancos won the Copa del Rey without him in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Osasuna.
His inclusion against City was in doubt but Ancelotti has confirmed he will take part in the first-leg encounter. “He’s fine. He’ll play tomorrow,” he said of the playmaker in his press conference on Monday.
