Spurs management still unsure of Modric return

Tottenham management are in the dark over when Luka Modric will be available.

The Daily Mail says Modric will not make his comeback to the Tottenham team in the game against Wigan on Sunday as first thought, with Spurs still unsure when the Croatia star will return.

Harry Redknapp had hoped that Modric would recover in six weeks after he fractured a fibula against Birmingham in August, but the playmaker has still to resume full training and it is now almost three months since he suffered the injury.

Tottenham's medical staff initially thought Modric could feature in the game against Roberto Martinez's men but he will have to wait longer to make his comeback and continue rehabilitation work in the gym.
