The Croatian is ready to return less than a month after the fracture of his cheekbone and the subsequent operation: “I’m ready – he told SportMediaset – but obviously Allegri decides. The secret of my longevity? Only the love for football”
Almost 41 years old, a fractured cheekbone and a great desire for Milan. Luka Modric is already ready: less than a month after the fortuitous clash with Locatelli during the match against Juve and the subsequent operation, the Croatian puts on his (protective) mask and is already preparing to take to the pitch. He will be available regularly with Cagliari, as he explained to SportMediaset: “I’ve already returned to training with the team and I’m ready: I really want to play and I’m already getting used to the mask. Obviously the coach will then decide.” Yes, Allegri, one of the reasons that pushed him to say yes to Milan last summer: “I am on excellent terms with him, as with his teammates and with the whole club. When I chose Milan I did it to try to win: this year it didn’t happen, but it’s clear that I would like to win a trophy with Milan. Now, however, we only have to think about Sunday’s match, it’s too important.”

Modric then explains the ‘secret’ of his longevity on the pitch: “There are many factors such as sleeping well, training well, paying attention to everything. At the base of everything, however, is my passion for football”. And Luka laughs about the fact that he will wear the mask, like superheroes: “Not a superhero, I’m a normal person: I only use it for protection.” Finally, a joke about Milan, his new city: “It’s spectacular, I like it a lot, it really has everything. Spectacular cuisine, pasta is my favorite dish, then it’s close to the mountains, the sea and the lake.” The conditions for a renewal are almost all there. Only the Champions League is missing.
