Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria may be sidelined for up to a month after sustaining a hamstring strain in the side’s 7-1 La Liga win over Osasuna on Sunday.
The former Benfica star set up all three of Real Madrid’s first-half goals but was forced from the pitch soon after the interval.
Di Maria will undergo further examination on Monday to clarify the extent of the problem, but boss Jose Mourinho knows only too well what to expect.
“He has a hamstring injury. We will have to wait for results of further tests, but I have enough experience to realise that he will be unavailable for some time,” Mourinho said.
Di Maria had made 47 appearances for the league leaders since his move in June last year and has announced his withdrawal from the Argentina squad to face both Bolivia and Colombia in World Cup qualifiers on November 11 and 15 respectively.
