Modric wins friends training with Spurs kids

Tottenham academy boss John McDermott was delighted with Luka Modric's decision to join in with training this week.

The Croatian playmaker has been out since the end of August but is beginning to move more and more comfortably.

McDermott told the Spurs website: "Luka is fantastic, inspirational and a really good role model. When he joins in, there is a really good vibe. We've been working with Luka regularly as part of his rehabilitation and the young players get so much out of it with some of the advice the senior players give, the way they do things, the pace they do things, their strength. It's great for the younger boys."

That was a terrible comment idiot! We aren't to know the full extent of the poor guys injuries. This is a man that gives his whole heart and impresses always in that white shirt. Give him a break! We don't want to rush him and force further injury. Modric is almost god

Definitely a good way to strengthen the academy, also a good way to get back to match fitness 1st. A good example for the future for Spurs Youth.

hes the future of the team, should not be rushed back!
