Redknapp unsure of when Modric will return

Harry Redknapp has refused to speculate on when Luka Modric could return to action for Tottenham.

The Croatian broke a fibula in the match against Birmingham City on August 28th and it had been originally thought that he could be fit in time to face Portsmouth last weekend.

“He is still quite a way away,” said Redknapp. “The leg is very tender, and he is very hesitant on his leg still.

“So he still a long way away really. I was hopeful he’d be close after the international break but he hasn’t recovered really. He’s not happy with it at the moment.

“I wouldn’t like to put a time on it. We started him trying to jog last Friday but he’s very tender with it.”
