FIFA World Cup 2026: 'Modric Will Do Everything To Recover In Time,' Says Croatia Coach Dalic
FIFA World Cup: Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalic has backed captain Luka Modric to recover in time for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 after the veteran midfielder recently underwent surgery following a facial injury.
“I’ve been talking to Luka and wished him a successful surgery and a quick recovery. I am convinced that he will do everything to be ready for the World Cup. We will give him full support, and I believe everything will go according to plan. As our captain, I am confident he will lead us again at a major tournament this summer,” Dalic said as quoted by the BBC.
Modric had to undergo surgery after suffering a serious facial injury during the AC Milan vs Juventus clash on Sunday. The 40-year-old midfielder, who has been an important player for AC Milan this season, was involved in a heavy collision with Manuel Locatelli while challenging for an aerial ball at the San Siro.
