Manchester United could be without Angel di Maria after the Argentine winger picked up a knock in his country’s 1-0 defeat to Portugal.
The former Real Madrid man suffered a knock on his right foot after a challenge from Sporting Lisbon loanee Nani, who is on loan from Man United.
Di Maria was replaced by Tottenham Hotspur’s Erik Lamela in the international friendly and assessed by medical staff, leaving question marks over his availability for the weekend clash with Arsenal at the Emirates stadium.
Argentina coach Tata Martino said after the game: “We don’t think it is anything serious. It was quite a tough blow he took. It was a tough knock. It cut the skin a little bit.
“We are having a look at some X-rays, some images that have been taken but in spite of that we don’t think it is too serious.”
Di Maria himself said: “It was just a blow. I hope it doesn’t swell anymore so I can play at the weekend.”
