Speaking for the first time since being diagnosed with a broken leg, Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Luka Modric is devastated by his latest injury setback.
Injured yesterday against Birmingham City in a tackle with Lee Bowyer, Modric hoped he had only hurt his calf until an X-Ray confirmed he has indeed fractured his right fibula.
Modric is set for a long spell on the sidelines and knew how serious his injury was straight away.
Modric told Croatian daily Jutarnji List, ""It's like my whole world has crumbled because I will be out for at least six weeks.
"I am terribly sad. It wasn't a ferocious tackle, but it hurt badly and I knew something was wrong the moment it happened.

"I am terribly sad. It wasn't a ferocious tackle, but it hurt badly 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."
Modric will also miss crucial World Cup qualifiers for Crotia against the likes of England and Belarus.
