Ancelotti unable to count on Modric for Napoli clash

Luka Modric had to be replaced in his side's 3-0 win over Cadiz in La Liga on Sunday. The 38-year-old was forced off with a muscle soreness in the back of his left thigh.
The Croatian midfielder underwent several medical tests on Tuesday morning to determine the extent of his injury. Madrid have received bittersweet news.
Modric is not suffering from a muscle rupture in his left thigh but he is overloaded by the last international matches played with the Croatian national team against Latvia and Armenia.
As a result, Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on him for Real Madrid's next meeting against Napoli in the Champions League group stage.
The Spanish giants were dealt severe blows over the past fortnight with Vinicius Junior and Eduardo Camavinga suffering long-term injuries, joining Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and Aurelien Tchouameni on the sidelines.
