Sergio Aguero: Could Return for World Cup Semifinal

Aguero, who suffered a thigh injury during Argentina's group stage match against Nigeria, may be able to play in the semifinal against the Netherlands on Wednesday, the Daily Mail reports. "Sergio has practiced three times. He's ready to play," said team doctor Daniel Martinez on Sunday.

Analysis:

Aguero's return will be a solid boost for Argentina, who will be without midfielder Angel di Maria, who suffered a thigh injury in the quarterfinal against Belgium. Aguero may not be able to go the whole 90, but he's a threat to score any time he's on the field, especially up top with Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain.
