The 37-year-old footballer has been diagnosed with a tear in the muscles of the back of his left thigh. The Croatian midfielder will need more than two weeks to recover.

As a result, Modric will not help the cream of the crop in the Spanish Cup final against Osasuna (6 May), and his participation in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Manchester City (9 May) is also in doubt.
