Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria suffers recurrence of thigh injury

Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria will spend four more weeks on the sidelines, according to a report in Marca.

The Argentina international recently returned to action in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Racing Santander after missing the past six weeks due to a thigh injury.

However, Di Maria sustained another knock during his 30-minute cameo and sat out the club's 1-1 Champions League encounter at CSKA Moscow on Tuesday as a result.

The report claims that further tests have shown a recurrence of Di Maria's thigh injury, with the 24-year-old expected to miss four more weeks of action.

The former Benfica winger is expected to miss Madrid's next four Primera Division matches.
