Bench option against Genoa
Modric (face) will begin as a sub for Sunday's contest versus Genoa.
Analysis: Modric will soldier through a cheekbone fracture but won't start in this one due to a lack of practice in recent days. Ardon Jashari is replacing him in the XI. Modric has created three chances and logged 10 crosses (one accurate) and six corners in his last four outings.
Available for Genoa game
Modric (face) "was able to go through practice Saturday and will be with us against Genoa," coach Massimiliano Allegri announced.
Analysis: Modric will play with a special protection after missing two fixtures because of a cheekbone fracture. He might be eased into action since he hasn't trained a lot lately, but one of his potential replacements, Samuele Ricci, is iffy due to an ankle problem. Modric has recorded three chances created, 11 crosses (one accurate) and nine corners in his last five appearances (all starts).
