Luka Modric will miss Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey final matchup against Osasuna on Saturday, May 6 due to a thigh injury. The Croatian midfielder is also a doubt for the first leg of the Galacticos’ UEFA Champions League semifinal clash with Manchester City the following Tuesday night.
“Following tests carried out on Luka Modric by the Real Madrid Medical Services, an injury to the back of his left thigh has been diagnosed,” the club announced in an official statement.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti stated during a news conference on Friday that the club is monitoring Modric’s progress and that he is not yet a definite absentee from the cup final but is highly unlikely to recover in time to face Osasuna.
Ancelotti also expressed his hope that Modric will be available in time to face Man City in the Champions League, particularly since Eder Militao will already be unavailable due to picking up a suspension.
