"Luka Modric wanted to be close to the AC Milan squad during the game against Genoa, and he had some words for the team after full-time. Despite not playing, MilanNews report that Modric was very pleased with Milan's victory today. The Croatian - who did everything he could to be available - hugged all his team-mates after the match. He also sent them a clear message: now is not the time to let your guard down."
"While it was a big victory at a hostile Stadio Luigi Ferraris, ultimately the equation remains the same: the next match is a must-win in order to get into the Champions League. Milan face Cagliari next weekend knowing that with another victory they will secure third place."
"It seems that Modric was all ready to go if he was needed at the Marassi, having made a miraculous recovery from a facial fracture that forced him off in the recent home draw with Juventus. Thankfully, the team were able to get the job done without any need to risk the Ballon d'Or winner."
"Predicting such a recovery from a medical standpoint wasn't easy, which is why Allegri - consulting with the medical staff - explained last Saturday before the Atalanta game that it would be difficult to have him back even for Milan-Cagliari."

Allegri had warned that his return for Milan-Cagliari would be difficult after consulting the medical staff.
