Luka Modric has revealed his feelings of ‘devastation’ when he broke his leg.
Now the Spurs midfielder is back in contention for first team action after playing 70 minutes in a friendly against non-league opponents, this week.
"It was my first major injury and it was difficult to accept, but I had to” reflected Modric on what happened in August.
"When I found out what the injury was it was devastating for me"
"Now it's behind me and I need to look forward. I'm just happy to be back."
"I can't wait to play again. The last three months have been hard but that's behind me now and I feel happy and relieved.
“I will take it step by step and I'll have to see now when the manager decides to put me back in the squad."
