Luka Modric wants to show his commitment to Real Madrid. In the midst of a season that continues to be questioned, he doesn't want to lose his place to any of his teammates.
That's is why, after beating Slovakia and qualifying for Euro 2020, the Croat has returned to Madrid with the permission of the Federation.
Croatia have still got to play a match in the international break, but it is a friendly against Georgia on Tuesday. According to 'Marca', the midfielder has made this decision for 2 reasons.
The first one is to have a bit more of a rest and to continue in the dynamic of Los Blancos before two important matches against Real Sociedad and PSG.
On the other hand, the Croat came back injured from his previous two trips with his country and this time doesn't want to risk the same thing happening.
According to the aforementioned media, Modric's decision will be looked upon favourably by some parts of the Real Madrid management for putting his club before country.
