The Croatian player underwent a routine medical examination - something which is required of all of the players in Real's squad as part of the club's insurance policy.

The fact that Modric has just come back from injury and started on the bench against PSG triggered rumours that the player had suffered a relapse, but sources consulted by MARCA assured that he is in perfect physical shape and that, provided there are no setbacks in the final two training sessions, he will be available to Rafa Benítez for Saturday's game against Celta at Balaídos.
