Luka Modric sustains facial injury during Milan-Juventus match

During the Milan vs. Juventus match on Sunday evening at the San Siro, which ended in a 0-0 draw, Luka Modric suffered a head injury following an aerial collision with Manuel Locatelli. The 40-year-old midfielder was substituted due to the injury and subsequent dizziness. Medical examinations confirmed a fracture of the left zygomatic bone, necessitating surgery. While some reports suggest he may miss the remainder of the club season, the Croatian Football Federation and other sources have confirmed that he is expected to recover in time for this summer's World Cup. Modric, who plays for Milan, is preparing for his final appearance in the tournament, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Both teams and staff have acknowledged the severity of the incident, with Locatelli checking on Modric immediately after the collision.
