In a dramatic turn of events, Croatian superstar Luka Modric has been sidelined for the rest of the Serie A season following a serious injury sustained in a match on April 27. Reports indicate that the midfielder suffered a zygomatic bone fracture in two places after a clash with Manuel Locatelli during the contest against Juventus.
Initial fears suggested that Modric might miss the upcoming World Cup; however, recent updates have reassured fans that the veteran playmaker’s participation is still on track. It is likely that he will have to don a protective mask during the tournament.
