Luka Modric - Page 12 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Nine crosses in draw Modric registered nine crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 0-0 tie to Morocco.

Impact Modric will be a fiend to any opposing team with his exceptional ability to log in multiple crosses a match. He will need help from Andrej Kramaric and Ivan Perisic to finish off plays and record goals for Croatia. The 37-year-old is expected to give Canada a hard time on Sunday, who have conceded seven goals in the last six international matches.

Impact Modric was relieved by a fresh set of legs in Eduardo Camavinga during the 85th in this one. Prior to coming off, he led his side in crosses and corners on the evening. The next time we see Modric, he'll be leading the line in a Croatia kit at the World Cup in Qatar.

Rayo Vallecano hands Real Madrid first Spanish league loss

Real Madrid has failed to regain the Spanish league lead after falling at Rayo Vallecano 3-2 in its first league loss

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores penalty in loss Modric scored one penalty goal and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 3-2 loss to Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Modric has scored in three of his last four appearances but has also conceded yellow cards in two of his last three starts. While it's a positive sign when Modric gets chances in front of goal, this isn't a reliable trend while Karim Benzema is unavailable and Toni Kroos is suspended. Going into the World Cup, Modric still should be the most important player for Croatia, so his presence certainly won't be diminished in Qatar unless the opponent succeeds in shutting him down.

Scores from spot in win Modric scored a penalty goal during 66 minutes of Wednesday's 5-1 win over Celtic.

Impact Modric scored for the second time in three appearances following his penalty put away in the sixth minute. As the World Cup nears it's good to see Modric getting involved in the attack, as normally he's not afforded more than he can make happen for himself.

Plays 90 versus Girona Modric managed two shots (zero on target), sent in three crosses (zero accurate) and added two corners delivered during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Girona.

Impact Modric was in the starting XI and played the full 90 in this one, so it appears he's largely recovered from a groin issue that held him out of UCL play earlier in the week. As the score and stat line suggest here, he just wasn't terribly involved or dangerous during a match where scoring was at a premium. That said, his usage and extended run are generally good signs for long-term fitness and output.

In lineup against Girona Modric (groin) made the starting lineup for Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Modric wasn't out for long despite a groin issue that kept him out in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to RB Leipzig. In 10 league appearances, Modric has scored twice and logged two assists while starting eight times.

Nearing return Modric (groin) participated in Friday's training session ahead of Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Modric looks likely to return after missing Tuesday's loss to RB Leipzig, his club's first defeat of the season. Whether he starts or not isn't fully clear, though Modric, Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni would be a likely midfield trio among those available to play over the weekend.

Won't travel to Leipzig Modric was a late withdrawal from the traveling group for Tuesday's match against RB Leipzig, his club announced Monday.

Impact A rumored adductor injury picked up by Modric in Saturday's win over Sevilla is likely the cause of his absence by Tuesday. It's unfortunate after he scored the first goal in Saturday's match before his departure. As Modric hadn't started in the last two UCL games regardless of his fitness, Aurelien Tchouameni, Toni Kroos and potentially Eduardo Camavinga or Federico Valverde will help to fill out the midfield for at least Tuesday's trip to Germany.

Scores goal against Sevilla Modric took three shots and scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Sevilla. He also created three chances in the match.

Impact Modric opened the scoring Saturday with his second league goal of the season, a close-range finish after a clever pass from Vinicius Junior to pick him out. Even at 37 years old the midfielder remains a complete class act and he somehow still has the legs and ability to merit his must-start status for Madrid.
