Soccer Betting Lines

11/19/2008 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tottenham has confirmed that playmaker Luka Modric could be sidelined for two weeks by a groin injury sustained in the 2-1 defeat at Fulham.

The 23-year-old Croatia international has struggled to make his mark at White Hart Lane since his $25 million arrival from Dinamo Zagreb, but had shown better form in recent weeks.

However, Modric lasted only 45 minutes of the weekend loss at Craven Cottage and now faces a short spell on the sidelines.

A statement from Spurs read: "An MRI scan has revealed that Luka Modric has suffered a partially torn groin muscle.

"The Croatia international was forced off with the injury at halftime in Saturday's match with Fulham and is expected to be sidelined for up to two weeks."

The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
