Real Madrid will be without Luka Modric in Thursday's Spanish Super Cup semifinal clash with Mallorca in Saudi Arabia after the midfielder fell ill.

"Our player Luka Modric is out of the game against Mallorca today because of a viral illness," said the Spanish champions in a statement.

Croatian midfielder Modric, 39, became Madrid's oldest goalscorer when he netted last week against Valencia in LaLiga.

Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao in the first semifinal on Wednesday to reach Sunday's final in Jeddah.
