World Cup winner Angel Di Maria did not take part in Juventus’ win over Cremonese but could soon return to the pitch for the Old Lady.

The 34-year-old Argentinian winger was ruled out of the clash in Cremona due to a slight ankle injury, continuing his unfortunate trend of being ruled out of Bianconeri games through physical issues.

Di Maria missed six Serie A games in the first half of the season due to injuries and is hoping to bounce back in the coming months.

As reported by Tuttosport, Juventus are hoping to recover Di Maria in time for their upcoming match with Udinese. The Argentine winger could come off the bench in the clash, giving him some minutes in his legs ahead of the key game with Napoli.

The 34-year-old proved his class and quality at the World Cup in Qatar and the Bianconeri are keen to see the player at his best in the second half of this season.
