Leads Real with three shots Modric took three off target shots and crossed three times inaccurately during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Osasuna.

Impact Modric was held off the scoresheet as Real had to settle for a disappointing draw with Osasuna. The midfielder was good going forward, finishing with the second most crosses on the team while leading Real with three shots in the draw. Modric was subbed off in the 75th minute.

Bags opener in draw to Elche Modric scored on one of his two shots (both on target) and added three crosses (none accurate), two dribbles and 81 passes completed in Wednesday's 1-1 draw to Elche.

Impact Modric was clinical to break the deadlock early in the match in his return after missing one match with a minor issue. That was his second straight outing with a goal and third straight with a major contribution after not having anything before that since mid-October. He's provided some decent and steady numbers in multiple peripheral categories of late and has been a decent option in many formats.

Back in squad list Modric made the squad list ahead of Wednesday's match at Elche.

Impact Modric missed the pre-Chirstmas win over Granada with a groin injury but has been training since Sunday en route to a full recovery. Given how much he's already played this season, with 12 starts in 14 league appearances plus four starts in six UCl matches, Modric could be given a little more rest by not starting Wednesday's match. If that were to be the case, then Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde would take up the spots in midfield with Casemiro behind them as the defensive midfielder.

Trains Sunday Modric (groin) participated in Sunday's training session, according to Arancha Rodriguez of Cope.

Impact Modric missed the 2-0 win over Granada due to this injury but has at least begun to train again. His status isn't entirely certain for Wednesday's trip to Elche, so Federico is in line for another start if Modric isn't ready.

Out against Granada Modric (adductor) is out for Wednesday's match against Granada.

Impact Modric picked up a knock during Monday's training session and it became clear that he would probably be rested for Wednesday's match, especially with the return to fitness for much of the squad. While he was on a good fantasy run with a goal and assist over his last two matches, Federico Valverde has shown himself capable of playing a similar role to Modric and will probably replace him in the starting lineup for this match.

Suffers adductor injury in training Modric suffered a mild injury to his left adductor during Monday's training session, according to Arancha Rodriguez of Cope.

Impact Modric has only picked up a mild knock, so he could play if needed during Wednesday's match against Granada. However, since the squad has returned to full fitness for the first time in a long time, Modric could be rested so he does not make the injury worse by playing. In his place, Martin Odegaard or Federico Valverde could join the starting lineup.

Impact Modric set up Karim Benzema's final goal to finish off one of his best offensive performances of the season. If he can keep up this level of offensive involvement, then Modric could be a little more useful to fantasy on a regular basis. Up next is a match against Eibar, which have conceded the fifth-most crosses to midfielders in La Liga.

Registers three shots Modric recorded three shots (one on target) and two crosses (zero accurate) versus Monchengladbach on Wednesday.

Impact Modric remains bogged down in a 10-match goalless streak dating back to Oct. 24 versus Barcelona. The fact that the midfielder has only put three efforts on target over that stretch certainly doesn't bode well for his drought coming to a close soon. With Toni Kroos serving as the primary freekick option, Modric figures to provide mid-range fantasy value at best the rest of the way.

Creates one chance in win Modric created one chance and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 1-0 win over Sevilla.

Impact Modric hasn't had many chances to be productive in recent weeks and lately is forced to do his work in the defense. This is somewhat typical for Modric, who tends to be even more dangerous because of how rarely he makes attacking runs, so it's hard to predict what such a talented player may do. He'll probably be stuck even more in a defensive midfield role over the next two matches against Borussia Monchengladbach and Atletico Madrid, which both feature talented attacking groups.
