Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric revealed he expects to be out for at least six weeks with a fractured his right fibula. The Croatian international suffered the injury during Spurs' 2-1 win over Birmingham City on Saturday after a tangle with Lee Bowyer.

"It's like my whole world has crumbled because I will be out for at least six weeks," Modric told Croatian daily Jutarnji List.

"I am terribly sad.

"It wasn't a ferocious tackle, but it hurt awfully and I knew something was wrong the moment it happened.

"The worst feeling is knowing that I will be watching both my club and country from the sidelines for a while."
