Real Madrid boss Ancelotti reveals Modric comeback date

Luka Modric is expected to return to Real Madrid training next month.

Modric suffered a thigh injury (a tear of the left proximal rectus femoris tendon) in Croatia’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Italy.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed: "He has only done physiotherapy and the muscle is healing well. We're happy with his progress and tomorrow he will have a scan, and another at the end of the year."

"He is making very good progress. Everything has gone well so far."

He added: "He won’t be back soon, but he will start training in the middle of January."
