The Croatian playmaker has been sidelined since breaking his leg against Birmingham in August.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.However, those plans have been put on hold as the 24-year-old is still not completely pain free."He is still quite a way away," said Redknapp."The leg is very tender, and he is very hesitant on his leg still."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."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."
