Real Madrid will face against Eibar their seventh match in the regular season in the Santiago Bernabéu (Sunday 16:15). Zidane received very bad news from the doctors. One of his key players will be injured one month approximately, Luka Modric.
Luka Modric will be out of the fields the next three or four weeks because he has an injury in his left knee. In the best moment of the Croatian midfielder, an injury forces him to stop a period of one month. Luka Modric is one of the most important players in all the squad. The Croatian midfielder is the “lighthouse” of Real Madrid. Without him Real Madrid can suffer a bit more because he is an example of how you must play in the midfield.
After confirmed the injury, Modric will fall from the list of his national team for the two matches of qualifying for the World Cup of Russia. Croatia will play against the sixth and ninth of October against Kosovo and Finland after the draw they had in the first match against Turkey.
If Modric is a very important player for Zidane imagine for his national team. Real Madrid coach is the first one that take care of the Croatian midfielder and he already rotated in the first games of the regular season. In the match against Dortmund, Modric played the entire game and in this match he started suffered pains on his left knee.
With the injury of Modric, Zinedine Zidane must think in which players he has to believe. As the French manager said in the press conference Isco will play against Eibar despite he is not having too much minutes. With the injuries of Casemiro and Modric in the midfield, now is a great opportunity for players like Kovacic, Isco and James to shine and try to convince Zidane that they can have more minutes in the future.
