Modrić Undergoes Surgery on Fractured Cheekbone After San Siro Clash

Luka Modrić underwent successful surgery to repair a fractured left cheekbone after a clash with Manuel Locatelli during the 0-0 draw against Juventus. The operation took place at La Madonnina Clinic in Milan and was necessary due to a complex fracture of the zygomatic bone. This significant loss for AC Milan sidelines their experienced midfielder for the rest of the season, as the team currently sits third in Serie A.
