Argentina winger Angel Di Maria has been ruled out of Wednesday's World Cup semi-final against the Netherlands, but striker Sergio Aguero is fit to play.

Di Maria, 26, was injured in the 1-0 quarter-final win over Belgium.

The Real Madrid player, who was assessed on Sunday, has a thigh strain and will not face the Dutch.

Manchester City striker Aguero, 26, has returned to training and is fit to play after injuring his hamstring in the group-stage win over Nigeria.

Di Maria, who scored a dramatic extra-time winner against Switzerland in the last 16, could be fit for the final on Sunday.
