// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has revealed that Luka Modric is still some way off being ready to make a return to action.[LNB] The Croatian playmaker has been sidelined since breaking his leg against Birmingham in August.[LNB]He had been expected to be back in contention by now, with Redknapp previously announcing that he hoped to have Modric available again following the recent international break.[LNB]However, those plans have been put on hold as the 24-year-old is still not completely pain free.[LNB]"He is still quite a way away," said Redknapp.[LNB]"The leg is very tender, and he is very hesitant on his leg still.[LNB]"So he is still a long way away really. I was hopeful he'd be close after the international break but he hasn't recovered really. He's not happy with it at the moment.[LNB]"I wouldn't like to put a time on it. We started him trying to jog last Friday but he's very tender with it."[LNB]
