Angel Di Maria could return for Argentina if they reach the World Cup final.

The man who scored the goal that put the Albicelesete into the World Cup quarter-finals has been ruled out of their clash with the Netherlands on Wednesday.

The Real Madrid winger is suffering with a thigh injury, though could be fit if they can make it through to the final in Brazil.

His strike in the quarter-finals earned Argentina a 1-0 extra-time win over Switzerland.
