AC Milan have reached an understanding with Croatia manager Bilic over Luka Modric’s workload during the national team’s next three fixtures.
Croatia face two matches against Spain and another meeting with long-standing rivals England. The demanding schedule has raised concerns at Milan, who are counting on the veteran midfielder returning fit after the international break.
According to pianetamilan.it, the Italian club’s management has agreed a plan with the Croatia coach to avoid overusing Modric during the three games.
The arrangement is expected to see Modric introduced as a substitute rather than named in Croatia’s starting line-up. The 2025 move to Milan marked the beginning of the midfielder’s time with the club.
