Tottenham have confirmed that midfielder Luka Modric will be out for around two weeks after having his appendix removed. The Croatia international underwent surgery on Tuesday night, meaning he could now miss the Champions League last-16 first leg at AC Milan on February 15.
Spurs said in a statement: "Luka Modric has undergone surgery to remove his appendix.
"The Croatia midfielder was diagnosed with acute appendicitis after contacting our medical staff complaining of abdominal discomfort.
"He is likely to be sidelined for around two weeks."
The 25-year-old joins key midfielders Gareth Bale (back) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) on the sidelines.
