Juventus ace Angel di Maria avoids serious injury

Juventus ace Angel di Maria has avoided serious injury after breaking down during defeat at Maccabi Haifa.

Di Maria was forced off carrying a hamstring injury on 24 minutes in the Champions League shock.

Juve say subsequent tests have shown that Di Maria sustained a minor injury in his right hamstring. He is therefore expected to be out for around 20 days.

As such, the 34 year-old will be back for Juve in time to prove his fitness before Argentina's World Cup squad is finalised.
