Argentina were ready to implement a high-risk strategy and start with Angel Di Maria in the World Cup final - until the player pulled out of training with a suspected thigh injury.
Di Maria had to go off in the quarter-final win against Belgium after injuring his muscle and Argentina were desperate to add to their attacking options for Sunday’s final with Germany.
Manager Alejandro Sabella was eager to use Di Maria, a key player in the tournament so far, at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, but his plans may have been set back.
