The Royals star is sidelined for today's clash against Almeria due to an injury, but so far it didn't hurt Los Blancos at all
Luka Modric has been a vital player for Real Madrid, so when it was confirmed that he had suffered a thigh injury just one week before the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League semi-final first leg, it caused a massive stir.
🚨 Luka Modrić has injured his hamstring and is expected to miss the next two weeks of football.

Modric's availability for the showpiece event in Sevilla is in doubt, likewise for the City tie three days later. He will definitely miss Saturday's fixture against Almeria, as well as the midweek trip to Real Sociedad.
However, Modric missing the league matches may not be such a bad thing for Real Madrid, as their recent record without the Croatian in La Liga is very impressive. As per Mundo Deportivo, in the 13 matches that Modric has missed since October 2019, Los Blancos have won 10 and drawn the other three.
This is proof of the quality replacements that Real Madrid possess, and Carlo Ancelotti will have to choose from them for the next two matches.
