Modric will be out for at least six weeks with a fractured fibula, that he suffered during Spurs’ 2-1 win over Birmingham City on Saturday.
“It’s like my whole world has crumbled because I will be out for at least six weeks,” Modric told Croatian daily Jutarnji List.
“I am terribly sad.
“It wasn’t a ferocious tackle, but it hurt awfully and I knew something was wrong the moment it happened.
“The worst feeling is knowing that I will be watching both my club and country from the sidelines for a while.”
