Sad news for the Argentine fans...the most important player is threatened with absence against Australia
Ambiguity surrounds the position of Argentine soccer star Angel Di Maria from participating in his country’s national team match, Saturday, against the Australian national team, in the second round (round of sixteen) of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Di Maria, 34, suffered a thigh muscle injury that forced him to leave in the 59th minute of his team's match against the Polish national team in the third round of the tournament's group stage matches, in which the Argentine national team won 2-0.
Argentine media reported that Di Maria's injury was not serious.
Lionel Scaloni, the coach of the Argentine national team, has some alternatives if it is confirmed that Di Maria will be absent from Saturday's match.
These alternatives are Lautaro Martinez, Angel Korea, Alejandro Gomez, Paulo Dybala and Thiago Almada, as Scaloni can push any of them instead of Di Maria next to Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez.
