Modric A Long Way Off Return

Last updated : 21 October 2009 By Sam
The Croatian International has been sidelined since breaking his leg in the 2-1 home win against Birmingham in August.

"He is still quite a way away," said Redknapp.

"The leg is very tender, and he is very hesitant on his leg still.

"So he is still a long way away really. I was hopeful he'd be close after the international break but he hasn't recovered really.

"He's not happy with it at the moment.

"I wouldn't like to put a time on it. We started him trying to jog last Friday but he's very tender with it."
