Real Madrid given Luka Modric injury blow ahead of Champions League clash vs Man City

Luka Modric is a doubt for Real Madrid's Champions League games with Manchester City next month after picking up a thigh injury while playing for the Spanish side.

The Croatian midfielder, who is also expected to miss the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna, will be 'monitored' by the La Liga giants amid a busy period in the season. Madrid will be desperate for the 37-year-old to return in time for their Champions League semi-final against City on May 9 and May 17.

The reigning Spanish champions confirmed the news on Friday in a short statement that said the knock would be monitored, which comes as a major blow to manager Carlo Ancelotti. Modric has made 44 appearances in all competitions this season, registering six goals and six assists.
