UNLUCKY BREAK ... Luka Modric is treated during
the match
The Croatia star has played a major role in Tottenham's
100 per cent start to the season which has seen them go top of the
Premier League.
But he was subbed in the 49th minute of Saturday's 2-1
win over Birmingham.
A Spurs statement said: "X-rays have determined that
Luka Modric sustained a fracture to his right fibula."
The club gave no indication of how long the player would be
sidelined for.
Modric has been one of the stars of Tottenham's 100 per cent
start to the season, which has put them second in the table behind
Chelsea after four games.
After the upcoming international break, Spurs face a home game
against champions Manchester United and a trip to Chelsea.
