"Luka Modric has been outstanding for AC Milan since joining in the summer from Real Madrid, but he has also perhaps been overused too. After an exciting start to the season, MilanPress point out that Modric seems to be starting to struggle a little, especially physically. The Croatian has rarely looked tired up until now it must be said, and after starting every league game this season that is remarkable in itself."
"When the Croatian isn't having a good day, the whole team feels it. The former Real Madrid player is the Rossoneri's metronome, and with one mistake from him, the opponents open up spaces that are difficult to close down. Modric very rarely makes critical errors that lead to goals, but when the entire build-up system is centred around him in a deeper-lying role, it can feel like a bit of a perilous position to rely so heavily on a 40-year-old."
Luka Modric has been outstanding for AC Milan since joining from Real Madrid but may be overused and showing early physical signs of fatigue. He started every league game this season and was substituted before the 90th minute only twice, against Cremonese and Udinese. Against Torino he struggled to keep up with the game's pace in the first half, improving in the second half as he regained possession and opponents sat deeper. Reliance on Modric makes the team's build-up vulnerable when he is not at his best. With a long season and Milan top, managing his minutes is crucial. Ardon Jashari produced a convincing showing against Lazio in the Coppa Italia and could provide rotation.
