Ángel Di María will not start for Argentina vs. Australia in the Round of 16 on Saturday.

Di María will not be in the starting eleven for Argentina as coach Lionel Scaloni is set to go with another attacker. According to several reports out of the Argentine media, it will be Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez starting with another attacker.

The 34 year old started all three of Argentina’s group games at the World Cup but was substituted out due to discomfort against Poland. Tests revealed that he has a muscle overload with Lionel Scaloni also commenting on the situation.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni is expected to go with one of Ángel Correa or Papu Gómez to start in the Argentina attack. Paulo Dybala also has a chance to start.
