Top-tier contender to participate in Champions League despite unattended injury
Luka Modrić, the midfield maestro of Real Madrid, will participate in tonight's Champions League semi-final match against Manchester City, despite not having fully recovered from a thigh injury he sustained at the end of April. The Croatian international has been undergoing rehabilitation, and a re-injury in the coming days could potentially lead to a layoff of up to four months.
Modrić has been a crucial part of Real Madrid's season, scoring 6 goals and providing 6 assists in 45 games across all competitions. His impressive performance this season has been instrumental in the team's success.
The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City will kick-off at 22:00. Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's head coach, has confirmed that Modrić will start the match at the Santiago Bernabéu. The medical team at Real Madrid offers specialised treatments for footballers, utilising innovative methods like AI-based sports medicine to facilitate swift and secure recoveries from injuries, such as the one Modrić is currently managing.
Modrić's contract with Real Madrid is set to expire at the end of the season, potentially making this his last season with the club. Playing tonight's match poses a significant risk for Modrić, as a recurrence of his injury could lead to a lengthy layoff.
In the 2022/23 Champions League campaign, Modrić has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 8 matches. Despite his injury, he is determined to contribute to Real Madrid's quest for glory in the tournament. The outcome of tonight's match could be heavily influenced by Modrić's performance.
As always, fans around the world will be eagerly watching the match, hoping to witness another masterclass from the talented Modrić.
