Angel Di Maria: Veteran winger Angel Di Maria could return to Argentina's starting lineup for the team's FIFA World Cup qualifier against Brazil, Albiceleste manager Lionel Scaloni said.

Di Maria, 35, showed that he had fully recovered from a leg muscle injury with a lively second-half cameo in Argentina's 2-0 home defeat to Uruguay last Thursday.

"There is a chance that Di Maria will be a starter ... [but] the idea is not to touch the team too much," Scaloni told a news conference on Monday.
