Modric Sustains Knee Knock
-
Tottenham Hotspur manager Juande Ramos has been dealt a major blow ahead of the Premiership season’s start with news that Luka Modric has sustained a knee injury.
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.” -
