Luka Modric trained with the AC Milan squad at Milanello today and according to a report, he wants to be part of the squad for Genoa-Milan.
One thing has become very clear throughout the course of the season: despite his age, Modric is one of the players with the most motivation and willingness in the league. Week in and week out, he has made himself available to the team, playing an instrumental part.

Just three weeks ago, not even that, the veteran underwent surgery due to a fractured cheekbone and it was immediately reported that his season was over. However, as reported by Antonio Vitiello this afternoon, the player himself has other ideas.
Early return seemingly possible
Today, he wore a protective mask at Milanello and was able to play with the rest of the team. As opposed to travelling with the squad for Genoa-Milan to sit in the stands, Modric wants to be part of the squad, even if it means starting on the bench.
Physically, apart from having to wear the mask, he feels absolutely fine and he might be able to get some minutes. Massimiliano Allegri will soon host his press conference (at the time of writing) and will surely shed some more light on the situation.
If not for tomorrow’s game, he will for sure be available for the game against Cagliari, which is very commendable as he could have been preparing for the World Cup instead.
I didn’t think it would be possible for me to have more respect for this man…
