Luka Modric suffered an ιnjury when Real Madrid beаt Cadiz. This situation makes Los Blancos experience a midfield crisis.

.

Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Cadiz in the Spanish League continued last weekend had to be paid dearly. This is because Luka Modric suffered an ιnjury in this match.

Modric had to be pulled off in the 68th minute. He appeared to be grimacing in pаin as he left the field.

This 38 year old midfielder is likely to suffer a thigh ιnjury. Modric will undergo further examinations to find out exactly what his ιnjury is.

Modric will most likely be absent when Madrid host Napoli at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League match, Thursday (30/11/2023). El Real, who has already qualified for the last 16, doesn’t seem to want to take risks by playing Modric in this match.

Modric’s ιnjury also adds to Madrid’s ιnjury list this season. As a result of this, Madrid is now experiencing a crisis in the midfield sector.

The reason is, they first lost Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni who were injured. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti clearly has to rack his brains in dealing with this situation.

This Italian coach does not have many choices to fill the formation of the three central midfielders he plays. Ancelotti can only rely on Toni Kroos, Fede Valverde and Dani Ceballos to fill Madrid’s midfield trio.
