Update: Modric (broken leg), who was expected back by mid-October according to some reports, is still a ways away from returning to third-place Tottenham according to Sky Sports. Analysis: Boss Harry Redknapp said ""He is still a long way away really. I was hopeful he'd be close after the international break but he hasn't recovered really. He's not happy with it at the moment." Modric is a slightly built magician on the ball, which means he also takes on a lot of contact. Spurs are at a soft spot in their schedule, but Arsenal looms on Halloween. 19 Oct 2009 05:00 PM
