Modric says he is ‘feeling better and better’

Luka Modric was pleased to get two matches under his belt for Croatia as he nears full fitness after a transfer-affected pre-season.

"I'm feeling better and better," the diminutive playmaker told Sky Sports News.

"Of course it was a bit difficult for me playing two games in four days, both 90 minutes.

"But I think I managed to get out of the game well and we get two good games (and) four points.

"That is what we expected and it was good. Job done."
