While it was first reported that Modric could miss from 3 to 5 weeks of action with Real Madrid, now a Croatian spokesman confirmed that Ancelotti will have to do without the midfielder for the next three weeks.

Modric left Croatia's game against Italy with a suspected groin injury that has now been confirmed as a groin strain, according to FIFA.com's report.
