After being injured in the group stage, the 'Noodle' awaits his chance for the duel against France.
After being injured in the group stage, the 'Noodle' awaits his chance for the duel against France.

After a season quite full of games because of the World Cup, Ángel Di María arrived at the national team contest with just enough physicality and, as the games went by, the player who emerged in Rosario Central paid dearly for that string and missed the last few two matches of the Argentine National Team, in which he hardly added minutes on the field, being part of the ideal team of the manager.

He entered only 15 minutes in the quarterfinals against the Netherlands, and then did not set foot on the green grass against the Croatian National Team. In this context, today Ángel Di María is one of the great unknowns that Lionel Scaloni's squad has and, after revealing his current state, the native of Pujato must make a decision about the presence or absence of the Noodle against the French .

As revealed by various national media in the last few hours, after the rest day that the Argentine squad had, 'Angelito' returned to training with the rest of his teammates and is in optimal condition for the great match that will be played on Sunday from 12 at noon (Argentine time) at the Lusail Stadium, which will have about 85 thousand spectators.

Based on this, Scaloni will have to decide if the 34-year-old midfielder is ready to play or not, analyzing the tactical system he will use. The big question is whether he enters the starting eleven or if he will do so in the complement, taking into account the needs of the team in that part of the game. There is also speculation whether the coach will initially start with a line of five defenders or a 4-4-2.

The history of Di María in the World Cups

The Juventus man made his world cup debut in South Africa in 2010, when he included him on the roster with Diego Maradona. He played five games and after that, he was acquired by Real Madrid. In Brazil 2014 he was a very high point, but he missed the semis and the final. Already in Russia 2018, he was a substitute with Sampaoli, but he scored a great goal for France in the 3-4 defeat in the round of 16.
