The £16.5 million signing from Dinamo Zagreb is set to play a key role
in Spurs season, more so given the fact that Robbie Keane left the club
for Liverpool last week and looks set to be followed by Dimitar
Berbatov.
While Ramos is continuing his pursuit of Zenit St
Petersburg forward Andrei Arshavin, a deal is unlikely to be concluded
within the next week, meaning Modric’s absence, for a duration not yet
known, will be even more damaging.
Croatia assistant manager,
Aljosa Asanovic, confirmed the 23-year old’s injury, saying: “It could
prevent him playing at the start of the new season, but it is painful
more than serious.”
