Competitor with Unattended Wound Set to Compete in Champions League
Luka Modrić Misses Out on Real Madrid's Champions League Semi-Final Against Manchester City
Luka Modrić, the former midfielder of Real Madrid, will not be participating in the Champions League semi-final match against Manchester City, scheduled for tonight at the "Santiago Bernabéu" stadium. The Croatian star has transferred to AC Milan for the 2025-26 season, effectively ending any immediate future he might have had at Real Madrid for the current season.
Modrić had been a crucial part of Real Madrid's squad this season, playing 45 games in all competitions and scoring 6 goals, while providing 6 assists. However, an ongoing thigh injury sustained at the end of April in a La Liga match against Girona has raised concerns about his fitness. Despite these concerns, Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's head coach, confirmed that Modrić would start the match if he were still with the club.
The risk of re-injury is significant, and if Modrić were to relapse in the next few days, his rehabilitation could take up to four months. This potential layoff, coupled with the transfer to AC Milan, means Modrić will not be available for Real Madrid's Champions League matches, including the semi-final against Manchester City.
As for Real Madrid's current injury situation, Mendy, Bellingham, Camavinga, and Endrick are listed as unavailable for tonight's match. However, there are no reports indicating Modrić's injury as a concern for the club.
In recent weeks, there have been no reports of Modrić suffering any current injury that could impact his season or future at AC Milan. While there was a social media reference to a serious hip injury in 2025, it lacked credible context or connection to the Champions League or Real Madrid. Furthermore, a mention of a past injury-related retirement scenario related to a video game feature from FIFA 21 and does not correspond to real-life status.
Therefore, there is no injury risk for Luka Modrić in any upcoming Real Madrid Champions League matches, including the semi-final against Manchester City. Fans will have to wait and see how the team performs without their former star midfielder.
The kick-off for tonight's match is at 22:00. Despite Modrić's absence, Real Madrid and Manchester City are set for an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to secure a place in the Champions League final.
