Absent from squad Modric was left out of the match-day squad versus Napoli on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Modric has been an infrequent starter this season, featuring in just seven of his 16 appearances, and was an unused substitute twice. Still, the veteran midfielder has logged significant minutes, even as a substitute, so his absence will stretch the club's depth heading into Wednesday's tilt.

Creates seven chances Tuesday Modric generated four crosses (two accurate), seven chances created and five corners in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus SC Braga.

Impact Modric created a season-high seven chances Tuesday, his most in a match this season and more than in any match last season as well. It was just his fifth start of the season and his first time playing the full 90 minutes, as the Real Madrid midfield looks to be going in a much younger direction.
