Why isn’t Ángel Di María playing for Argentina against Chile in the 2026 World Cup qualifier?
Injury keeps Di María out of Argentina’s World Cup qualifier against Chile
Ángel Di María will miss Argentina's World Cup qualifier against Chile on Thursday due to injury. The Paris Saint-Germain winger suffered a muscle problem in training on Tuesday and was ruled out of the match by Argentina's medical staff.
Di María is a key player for Argentina and his absence will be a blow to the team's hopes of securing a place at the 2026 World Cup. The 34-year-old has been in good form for PSG this season, scoring three goals and providing six assists in all competitions.
Argentina have several other attacking options available
Despite Di María's absence, Argentina have several other attacking options available. Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martínez, and Paulo Dybala are all in the squad and will be looking to make a contribution against Chile.
Argentina are currently top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying standings with 25 points from 12 games. A win against Chile would move them closer to securing a place at the tournament in Qatar.
