Angel di Maria plays down injury fears and hopes to make Arsenal trip

Angel di Maria has revealed that he hopes to be fit for Manchester United's trip to Arsenal on Saturday after taking a knock in Argentina's defeat to Portugal tonight.

The winger took a heavy blow to his foot in a challenge with Nani in the first half before carrying on and being replaced on the hour mark.

Reports have suggested that the 26-year-old has been sent for an X-ray to determine the extent of the injury, but Di Maria himself has played down the severity of it and aims to be involved at the Emirates.

"It was just a blow," he wrote on Twitter. "I hope it doesn't swell any more so I can play at the weekend."

Raphael Guerreiro struck a stoppage-time winner for Portugal as Gerardo Martino's side suffered a narrow defeat at Old Trafford.
