Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric scored against West Ham after returning from injury and has now set his sights on reaching fitness and form. The 24-year-old admits he is still lacking some match fitness and believes the lengthy run-out will help him recover full sharpness.
"It was good to start the game and hopefully this sort of game time will give me the chance to get back into the shape I was in at the start of the season," explained Modric.
"My goal and the win overall will help my confidence, so now I need to get keep going and working hard.
"Despite the length of time I had out, I feel good and I don't feel any pain from the injury, and I must thank our medical staff, particularly Nathan Gardiner (rehabilitation and conditioning coach), for getting me fit again.
"That's three wins from four games now, and we haven't conceded a goal in those four games either, which is very important.
"We just need to keep this form going. We've got to put what has been a great year behind us and hopefully make 2010 just as successful."
