Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric admits he was stunned by the injury suffered by good friend and Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva.

Eduardo is still recovering from the double leg break suffered against Birmingham back in February.

Modric said: "I know Eduardo well and I'm sure we'll have time for socialising off the field, regardless of the fact he plays for our biggest rivals Arsenal.

"His injury affected me a great deal. I had a match that day for Dinamo and it was very hard for me to concentrate."
