Real Madrid scored a 3-0 victory against Cadiz on Sunday, despite the fact that a significant number of players were missing from the game. Rodrygo scored two goals, and Jude Bellingham scored the third goal, which was the deciding factor in the match.
A rare start in La Liga was given to Luka Modric, who was responsible for Real Madrid’s domination in the center of the pitch and also assisted Rodrygo on his second goal. Modric was also the player who was given the opportunity to start.
However, his evening was cut short when he experienced soreness in his left hip with little under half an hour of the game remaining. This caused him to be unable to continue playing. Dani Ceballos ended up taking the position of the Croatian player in the end.
Positive outlook with Modric
In light of the circumstances surrounding Luka Modric, there is reason for hope, as reported by Mario Cortegana of The Athletic. Despite the fact that the club is hopeful that he will be able to play against Napoli, they will not know for sure until the following twenty-four hours.
Previous sources have also suggested that more testing are scheduled to take place; nonetheless, the club is remaining cool and thinks that the problem is caused by an overload rather than anything more catastrophic.
There is a widespread belief that Modric had muscular weariness, and it is anticipated that he will make a speedy recovery.
As a result of the injuries that occurred in the midfield, Los Blancos would be working hard to get Modric back to full health as soon as possible. Any more omissions would make things very difficult for the coach, who already has a restricted number of players available to him.
In spite of the fact that the club continues to maintain a hopeful attitude, the following twenty-four hours will prove to be critical in revealing the whole specifics of Modric’s predicament.
Having the senior player on the roster would be a significant advantage for Real Madrid, since they are scheduled to face Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday. This would be a significant boost for the team.
Despite the fact that the squad from the Spanish city has won all four of their games so far, which has placed them at the top of Group C and ensured that they will advance to the knockout rounds, they will still be hoping to make it out of the groups with their perfect record intact.
