# Soccer: Croatia and AC Milan’s captain, Luka Modric’s World Cup is in doubt after fracturing his cheekbone during Sunday’s Serie A match against Juventus. He clashed heads with the opponents’ midfielder, Manuel Locatelli, and underwent a successful operation later. Croatia’s governing body says the 40-year-old veteran of four World Cups will do everything possible to be fit for this year’s tournament in Northern America, starting on 11 June. Croatia will face England, Ghana and Panama in Group L.
