Sergio Aguero declared fit for semifinal against the Netherlands
Reuters
Argentina learned Sunday evening that midfielder Angel di Maria will miss the semifinal match against the Netherlands with a thigh strain, but did receive some encouraging news regarding that status of Sergio Aguero.
Per ESPN FC, team doctor Daniel Martinez said that the striker has recovered in an "excellent" way from the thigh injury that forced him to miss the victories over both Switzerland and Belgium.
Aguero, who was substituted early in the group match against Nigeria after pulling up with what the team described at the time as a muscular problem, would add another dimension to an Argentine attack that has been overly dependent on Lionel Messi throughout the tournament.
