Juventus, Angel Di Maria’s recovery time official

Di Maria injured in Champions League match against Maccabi Haifa

Through an official statement, Juventus released the recovery time from Angel Di María’s injury, suffered during the last round of the Champions League in Israel against Maccabi Haifa.

The note from the Juventus club reads, “The diagnostic examinations to which Di Maria underwent this morning at J|Medical showed a low-grade injury of the hamstring of the right thigh. About 20 days will be required for his full recovery.”

So the former Paris Saint-Germain player’s presence at the World Cup in Qatar is not in doubt. He could return to the field on Nov. 6, in the Italian derby against Inter Milan.

For the Argentine, it is the second injury of the season, after the one suffered against Sassuolo in the first league game. On that occasion, Di Maria had been away from the field until his return against Spezia on the fourth day of Serie A.
