Remained on the bench against Croatia on Tuesday in the semi-final (3-0), Angel Di Maria participated normally this Thursday evening in training for Argentina alongside the players who entered during the match or who did not didn’t play on Tuesday. The former PSG striker had suffered muscle fatigue against Poland in the group stage where he had started in all three games. He then missed the round of 16 against Australia (2-1) and only entered 9 minutes in the quarter-final against the Netherlands (2-2, 4-3 on tab).
Before Croatia, the Juventus player had returned to collective training, but coach Lionel Scaloni had decided to preserve him and had preferred Leandro Paredes at the last moment. Now restored, he therefore applies for a starting place for the final. Everything will depend on the tactical system chosen by Scaloni. But according to several Argentine media including TyC Sports, Di Maria could return to the eleven of the final alongside Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez.
