Modric On The Comeback Trail

However, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has insisted that he will not be rushing back the Croatian midfielder, who has been sidelined since sustaining a frqactured fibula in the home win against Birmingham City back in August.

"Luka trained with the kids and he was moving a lot better, so he's on his way back and hopefully it shouldn't take too long" Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

"We don't want him to break down, we want to make sure he's ready."
