Di Maria to miss WC final?

Angel Di Maria is running out of time to prove he is fit to play for Argentina in the World Cup final against Germany.

AS reports that Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said last night that Di Maria needed to show his fitness in the final training session before the match, but the nature of the Real Madrid midfielder’s injury means it’s unlikely he’ll make it.

He did train with his teammates but is said to have felt further pain in his thigh, the area he injured in the quarter final win over Belgium last week.

Di Maria is expected to need more time to recover than the imminent World Cup final will allow.

AS predicts that Sabella will therefore name the same team as beat the Netherlands in the semi-final, with Enzo Perez in place of Di Maria.
