Tottenham have been very good this season, there’s no denying that, and one only has to look at the league table to see they have 4 wins in 4 matches.  One of the key players this season for Spurs has been Luka Modric, who has really come into his own as the crafty midfield play-maker for Tottenham.

Given his role in the Spurs revolution the news that he has sustained a broken leg in the match again Birmingham will be a serious blow.  Reportedly Modric is expected to be out of action for at least six weeks.  Leaving Tottenham to try and find a spark from somewhere else.

As an England and Manchester United fan I can’t help taking some heart at the Croatian’s misfortune.  He will miss both the International World Cup quantifier between Croatia and England next week, and also the Premier League meeting with Manchester United the following weekend.  He will be sorely missed by his teams in both events.
