The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric has picked up a groin injury and will be out for at least two weeks. The Croatia international was substituted at half-time during Saturday's defeat to Fulham. Spurs face home games against Everton and Blackburn as well an away Uefa Cup tie against NEC during that period.

A statement on the club's official website read: "An MRI scan has revealed that Luka Modric has suffered a partially torn groin muscle. He was forced off with the injury at half-time in Saturday's match with Fulham and is expected to be sidelined for up to two weeks."
