Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho insists Angel di Maria is a vital player for them.

The Argentine has struggled with injury in recent weeks.

Mourinho said: "Di Maria is injured and he is too important in our style. We lose quality without him. He is working to recover and it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary if he used outside help to complimenting the recovery work he does with us.

"All players have people they work with more closely during injuries. What matters is that he recovers as soon as possible because he truly makes his mark on the team and we're different without him."
